How update to the new version of Be|theme?

markobb · October 2015

If you update theme and have some customization's in core files will this copy over files via FTP delete those modifications?

Albert · October 2015

@markobb If you modified theme files, then of course after update you will lose them obviously.

Works fine.

I just installed the iTheme security plugin which seems to change files within the Wordpress system as you give it permission to. Would a plugin like this also change the theme files?

Albert · October 2015

@younghopak We did never tested this plugin with our theme so unfortunately we don't know how it works.

younghopak · October 2015

Okay thanks for the reply.

What's the best course of action to take if upgrading breaks Muffin Builder?

Just updated from a version I'd downloaded on Oct 6 to one from today. I'm still building out the site. The content I'd entered pre-update is still there (had to update my custom styles), and everythign else seems ok, but when I go to edit or add a post or page, the builder isn't working.

EDIT: Solved -- was a file permissions issue. Basically had to go back in under /functions/builder and update all perms to appropriate WP (755 folders, 644 files).

@burdetteketchum We're glad to hear that you sorted it yourself

Since your theme has got larger I have had to ftp to update and the update keeps reverting to version 9.5 even though I was running a later version. I have tried updating several times with no luck.

Albert · November 2015

@allant Did you downloaded recent version from TF? If you did, we recommend to remove current theme files from FTP and upload the recent version instead.

It's so tedious to upgrade such a big theme. Please develop a better access such as a one click upgrade instead of comparing.

Albert · January 2016

@mexanh This is independent of us. This depends on Envato only. They must sort their API first.

http://themes.muffingroup.com/betheme/documentation/#slider says:

Remember
to set up chmod on 777 on below folders listed below to show slider
thumbnails,and make it possible to edit CSS styles for slider in the
admin panel.

wp-content/plugins/revslider/cache

wp-content/plugins/revslider/rs-plugin/css

NOTE! In
the default Revolution Slider version included in this theme, you
receive every one of our styles for the plugin. When a plugin is updated
to a newer version,do not forget to copy slider styles from/revolution-slider-demo/captions.css (this folder is also included in theThemeForest package) to /wp-content/plugins/revslider/rs-plugin/css/captions.css

I see wp-content/plugins/revslider, but no cache or rs-plugin. Did I install something incorrectly?

parao · January 2016

I made changes in the custom CSS and of course the theme options from the dashboard. Does that count as changes in the theme files? Does that write onto the theme files? Or am I safe to just overwrite via FTP and all those custom settings and CSS made from wordpress dashboard will stay?

Albert · January 2016

@mduuweb No, you did not missed anything because these folders does not exist anymore. All you need to update plugin is overwrite plugin`s file thru FTP. That's it.

@parao Dashboard does not count because all dashboard settings are stored in database and are safe.

i have version 11.5 and i want yo upgrade without lossing my customization, ... the steps are, remplace all the beetheme?? inside wp-content/themeswith the new one??

i do not want to lost my changes!!! where are they saved?

Albert · February 2016

Like we wrote above, if you did not modified any theme files, you won't lose any settings because all are stored in the database. We do not keep any settings in files.

Apache ErrorLog :

[Mon Feb 15 09:11:55 2016] [error] [client 192.168.100.5] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /var/apache/wordpress-xxxxxxxx/index.php on line 10

Any suggestion about?

girlsgonethrift · February 2016

So when I press update betheme automatically in evanto toolkit it just goes to error page, it wont let me update the site, how do I do this manually without losing and customizations.

Albert · February 2016

@girlsgonethrift Envato Toolkit is deprecated. More details about it you can read on https://github.com/envato/envato-wordpress-toolkit/issues/85

girlsgonethrift · February 2016

Ok so how to I update the theme without this toolkit and without losing my customizations?

Albert · February 2016

@girlsgonethrift Did you read this topic? In 1st message, we described how to update theme thru FTP or thru WP dashboard.

girlsgonethrift · February 2016

"Download the theme and install it over the current one." so i just place the new folder over top of the old one its just that simple right? Then overrite with new files?

Albert · February 2016

@girlsgonethrift The best way would be to remove current theme files and upload the new one if we talk about FTP method.

laccentweb · March 2016

If I made changes to my files in the betheme child folder, will the automatic uddate overwrite them, or only the main theme files ?
And will it update the Muffin Editor?

Albert · March 2016

@laccentweb Only main theme files will overwrite.

laccentweb · March 2016

How can we update the muffin editor then ?

Albert · March 2016

@laccentweb Muffin Builder comes with theme update so you can not update Muffin Builder individually.

i´ve just upload the new template at wp-content / themes . but in wordpress appear.

Themes damaged. The following themes are installed, but incompleted. The themes need a style sheet and a template.

Ive changed the name of the older folder of betheme to upload this new one.

SOLVED: Unzip files of new version of betheme.

Find the folder of WP-CONTENT with filezilla and then go to / THEMES and drag and drop to overwrite the new theme over the old one.

Albert · March 2016

@JosueAlfonso Yes, this is exactly what you should do. We are glad to see that you sorted it out!
