Theme update without loosing child theme

  • Hello,

    I have a notice that there is an update to the Olsen Light Theme. How do I update my theme without loosing all my customizations that are saved in my ‘Olsen Child Theme’ and “Additional CSS’. I have version 1.0.3 installed and am wanting to update to 1.7.0.

    Thank you

  • Hi,
    This is why you have a child theme initially, to keep changes when updating your parent theme.

    Take a backup and update your theme. Child theme and additional css changes will not be lost.

    Let me know how I can help out more

    how can i update to the new version without my site getting messed up?

    Hi there,
    None of these errors come from the theme but from third party plugins. Please disable all plugins and let me know if all errors resolve
