    What’s the easiest way to update this theme without erasing all of my data?

    Should I perform the update first and then upgrade WordPress to 3.5.2?

    I did that and now my site doesn’t come up at all – http://shawnmurphy.net

    Weird. What did you do?

    Sorry – it looks like it worked but there’s something going on with my hosting. It’s appearing at http://shawnmurphy.net/wp

    I’m not sure what happened. I’ll call my hosting provider.

    Re-select your existing menu.

    I checked your website smurphy28 and it looks great! How did you do to get rid of “see project details” on hover on portfolio page?

    Thanks!

    Thanks Andreea.

    I think See Project Details is removed when selecting Alternate Portfolio in the Style details. I think it’s much cleaner and the hover state gives the user the idea to click and get details anyway. It was a bit repetitive.

    I hope that helps!

    smurphy28 – kudos on your site! It looks fantastic!

    @andreeam: You can use this in your custom css field to hide that text without selecting any extra style option.

    .media-box .mask .title { display: none; }
    

    Thanks

    I updated to the latest theme and all of my content went away. Screenshot here:

    I’ve reverted back to version 3.1 and it seems to be working. Why did this happen? I haven’t done anything but upgrade the theme.

    Download a fresh copy from ThemeForest, then try again.

    Note: After updating, check your custom widgets. Sometimes they go to the Inactive Widgets place with their settings.

    Mehmet – you were correct. It was the widgets. I’ve installed the latest version. Is it compatible with WordPress 3.8.1?

    No issues reported, you can try it.

    Hello Mehmet – I upgraded to the latest theme but again my pages have disappeared. I tried deleting them from the widgets pane and reactivating them but they still do not work. Only the About Me page is working. Thoughts?

    I think I fixed it actually. I don’t know how but it seems to be working now.

    Ok. Good luck.
