Updating from version 1.6.1 to current on child theme
I am in the process of updating a website from 1.6.1 to the current version. The website is using a child theme and after updating a staging site to the new theme by overwriting the parent theme folder, I lose all my styling, page content, and lots of other things. I realize it's a big jump to go from a heavily customized old version to the current. Any ideas or tips to get it updated properly?

Here is an instruction on how to update the theme:

Theme updates will not delete your content unless you have changed the files directly in which case we suggest using a child theme.
We also recommend creating a backup file.
Please remove the theme completely from your theme folder and install a fresh copy. Do not overwrite files.
thanks
