  Hi again,

  
  

  I'm still having the issue during update unfortunately. I just tried the update again and got the same error. My site goes white and it just says "site is having technical difficulties". You didn't see that when you checked the site because I had restored the site instance from before I updated (to a working version). I don't have any caching plugins or anything so nothing to deactivate there. The error code is the same as last time. It keeps mentioning /betheme-child-/header.php on line 36. Is there something in my child theme that might be causing the error?
  

  
  

  Error Info:

  Hello,
  This is because you're using an old method for calling functions in a child theme. Recent changes in Envato terms & conditions forced us to make some modifications to the theme files. One of those changes is replacing "mfn_opts_show()" to "echo mfn_opts_get()". This is why your child theme does not work after the theme update.
  
  To make your Child Theme work again, you have to find that function in all of your modified files( in the child theme) and replace the 'mfn_opts_show()' to 'echo mfn_opts_get()'
  Look at the screenshot example to make it more understandable: https://pasteboard.co/IdJyIOZ.jpg

  
  thanks

  Hi, thanks for the info.
  

  
  

  I changed all of the instances of 'mfn_opts_show()' to 'echo mfn_opts_get()' in all my child theme files as instructed and then tried to update BeTheme again. I now get a new error related to a different function called 'mfn_builder_print()'. See error info I get below. Does that mfn_buildfunction need to be changed to something different as well?

  
  

  New Error Info:

  Yes, you have to change the:

  <?php mfn_builder_print($customID, true); ?>
  

  to:

  $mfn_builder = new Mfn_Builder_Front($customID, true);
  $mfn_builder->show();

  
  

  See the screenshot, red bordered code have to be overwritten with green bordered code:

  Thanks for your additional guidance with that.
  

  
  

  I found those new error sections in both index.php and page.php. They both had some extra stuff written before after "mfn_builder_print" so when I just replaced the sections entirely with "$mfn_builder = new Mfn_Builder_Front($customID, true); $mfn_builder->show();" some things were a little wonky on my blog page. But then I went ahead and updated the theme and after I updated, I just went to the parent theme, copied over what the new version had written in those sections, and replaced the corresponding old sections in my child theme.

  
  

  All is working perfectly now! Thanks so much for your guidance. I really appreciate all your help.
