"Upgrading is easy"

[torb]

What does the banner for Atelier stating “Upgrading is easy” mean?

Is it easy to upgrade from Cardinal?

(Sorry, haven’t been here for a while)

I can see there is a reference to an “article” about upgrading in the Atelier forum, but I am unsure where to find it.

Will it be (more) difficult to upgrade if I have used a child theme? Do I have to make a new child theme, or can I upgrade the one I use?

Hi,

Upgrading from Cardinal to Atelier is easy because they share the sama Framework, most of the theme options exist in Atelier and you only have to adjust the new Atelier options.

Regarding the child theme, since it’s customization’s you have always to check each change you made. And if necessary update the code if the same piece of code in Atelier changed. There’s no other way of doing this.

Let us know it you need more guidance in this.

OK. Will the best thing to do be to install Atelier, and optionally export/import the settings from Cardinal?

I cannot risk the site being unavailable in any way.

Hi,

You will have to create a development site before where you can test all that first.
Do a copy to a subdomain and go from there.
