@hexer7568 12.4 version has been updated today. So to get this version, please download package from TF.

I'm not sure if this is mentioned on any threads but the EASIEST WAY TO UPDATE BETHEME is with this plugin: Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades.

FTP not needed and it works like a charm. I didn't lose anything. You should still do a backup just to be safe.

Cheers everyone.

@rolandoemail This has not been told on this forum yet so thank for this information

Are there plans to have this auto update on WordPress instead of installing like this?

Albert · April 2016

@Whit91 Yes, we got it in plans but it's not ready yet.

I enabled the Envato Toolkit and saw there is a newer version of BeTheme. I have the Child Theme activated and did some changes, so when I update now, I shouldn't loose any data correct?

Albert · April 2016

@rene-photography Yes, you shouldn't lose anything.

Thanks for the update, but I have a few suggestions as this is a POPULAR theme and the process can be very annoying in terms of updates.

SUGGESTIONS (note, I'm a newbie so excuse my ignorance if this is already known).

If CSS files are modified, is there an easier way to keep them (without them being overwritten)?
If images are modified, is there an easier way to keep them (without them being overwritten)?

I think most newbies like myself will only change the 2 options above.

Thoughts?

Albert · April 2016

@IPN

1) This is the reason why we do not recommend to modify theme files and we made Custom CSS section where you should use all extra css's.

2) If images names are the same, there is no way to keep them during the update. Files names need to be different if you want to keep them on update.

Hi MuffinGroup,

I was wondering when do you have the “update-via-WordPress” -option available?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Michael

Albert · May 2016

@rmws We don't know yet when exactly this feature might be available.

Albert · May 2016

@stooni It's not because of theme update but because of WP update. We are pretty sure that you did the update of WP to latest 4.5 version and forgot to update VC plugin itself.

muzna91 · May 2016

Ho about if I install my be theme on my localhost?

the same approach I have to follow when updating to new version with respect to FTP??

Thanks,

Muzna,

Albert · May 2016

@muzna91 Yes, exactly.

Where can I find and enable Envato Toolkit?

I can't seem to find it on my dashboard anywhere.

stooni · May 2016

you must install Plugin Envato Toolkit you can download here

https://github.com/envato/envato-wordpress-toolkit

Upload
Activate
Insert Api Key

Hello! Stooni you can help me. I'm with same problem you. My "Add item"not appear for me.

Albert · June 2016

@FehSchiavon Please deactivate all extra plugins and update theme files because looks like you have problems which are not related with theme.

FehSchiavon · June 2016

Ok, but which version is unstable to use theme.

Durka · June 2016

Since version 13.2, I have the same inconsistent behavior: after each update via

Envato Tollkit / Themes / (Be) update automatically

I get no errors, but "system information" shows still Be 13.2 (now it should be 13.7), and says

All of this theme’s files are located in /themes/backup2016.05.03.betheme

instead of

wp-content/themes/betheme/

where apparently the new/updated theme goes, as the files in this directory have recent dates.

Also, directory "envato-backups" seems to contain all the .zip files with backups after each update.

So it's probably the problem with wordpress reading theme files from a wrong directory?

Anyway, how to fix it?

I cannot find an option to change the current betheme directory

Albert · June 2016

@Durka Envato Toolkit does not work anymore. More details about it you can find on https://github.com/envato/envato-wordpress-toolkit/issues/85

Ok, so the old evato market plugin does not work. As for problems with installing themes in this situation, the page you mentioned says "That's something you should contact the theme author about."

So my problem is:

"system information" says

All of this theme’s files are located in /themes/backup2016.05.03.betheme

instead of wp-content/themes/betheme/

Where do I change this directory setting?

Also, do you recommend installing the new envato market plugin from

https://github.com/envato/wp-envato-market - ?

Albert · June 2016

@Durka No, we do not recommend any plugins. We always recommend to update theme files via FTP because it's the best and safest way for any update. But we do not understand what directory and where you want to change. Sorry but it's not clear enough for us.

ok

It seems that my WordPress intallation os reading theme files from a wrong directory -- maybe caused by a past disfunction of the envato toolkit -- and I was asking how to change this setting

Albert · June 2016

@Durka Path for directory can be changed under database only but please understand that such kind of customization are not included into support. But to be honest, we have no idea how is that possible that your theme are read from different directory. That's very strange.

carltonwhitfield1967 · July 2016

Hello - sorry , this seems to be a worrying question for most of us lol. I have not made any changes to the theme in the files, just changed the theme via page builder etc, and im using a child theme, does this mean that when i replace the new theme, because ive not made any changes to any of the codes and files, i will be ok ?

I have already had lots of problems with one website with Blue Host' that does not seem to like Betheme (silly them!!!) and it took me days to upload my website with them, so i just do not want to mess up the customers website again haha??

Albert · July 2016

@carltonwhitfield1967 If you didn't touched any theme files, then you can do the files update of course.

How update to the new version of Be|theme?
