Update Theme

[elcamilo]

How do I update the theme and not lose the settings that I ran on my site, for example when an update of the theme and I update, I lose all the translation into Portuguese that I did. I changed the sf-header to a message appears at the top, and when I update I lose that too.

Hi,

That change should be done inside a child theme so we don’t have this problem when a new update comes.

Regarding the translation you should add the code below to your functions.php of the child theme, and copy the translation files to the the folder “languages” inside the child theme files. That director doesn’t exist by default, you need to create it.

function my_child_theme_setup() {
    load_child_theme_textdomain( 'swiftframework', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/languages' );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_child_theme_setup' );
