Updating Atelier

[solewind]

I have 2 questions.

1. I have made some changes to Atelier theme file included language translate, css, and function.php. If I upgrade to new version of Atelier, would these changes lost?

2. I can not update the theme in wordpress Admin. How to update?

Hi,

1) These should be in a child theme, never modify core theme files. If they are in a child theme nothing will be lost.

2) Looks like you have an old theme with the old importer, this is fixed on the newer version. Full instructions on how to upgrade are found here: http://www.swiftideas.com/knowledgebase/how-to-manually-update-your-theme/

Oh.
I did changes to core theme already.
But now I want to update my theme to the lastest version.
What should I do now to update my theme without losing the customization? Do you have any solution?

Hi

You should use a child theme for changes, so that you can update the parent theme with overwriting your changes. You’ll have to remember the changes you made, update the theme and then make the changes again, preferably to a child theme
