I installed and extensively modified the style.css of Sliding Door (SD) 2.3.1 and it is currently running on WP 3.2.1
I didn’t understand child themes back then and SD only had the Black version.
So, I just basically hacked the style.css to render a White SD theme. I haven’t done any upgrading since then, because I knew I’d have to do a lot of CSS work to produce a child theme as well as whatever else might go wrong in an upgrade.
Now, 5+ yrs later, I need to move the site to a different host and Updraft doesn’t move the WP part, and needs a WP environment on the new server to do it the Updraft way (the easy way). I figured that meant it was a darn good time to upgrade everything prior to the move and have a fresh WP 4.6 on the new machine to restore the Updraft backup on.
So, reading here, I see that I should upgrade SD first. Since there is now a White SD, I figured I could upgrade and then switch to the White SD, then do the WP upgrade to 4.6. all on the current server.
Then, do the Updraft thing and put it on the fresh install of WP 4.6 on the new server. Then, do my child theme stuff, on the new machine. Since it will be White, it won’t take as long to do the child theme, I’m thinking.
Sounds like a plan, right? Is it a good plan? What is likely to go wrong? What do I need to watch out for?
Upgrading SD 2.3.1 to 3.2.4
Upgrading WP 3.2.1 to 4.6
Any advice would be much appreciated. The website is https://www.darlingtonmutual.com

]]>I’ve read the how to upgrade section but it’s too complicated and I don’t quite understand it very much
can someone list down what should I do to upgrade her WP? if you could list it by numbers it would be helpful, thank you
]]>As my theme has a parent and child theme, the theme is not touched during update to WP. I would like to know the changes being made on each update of WP before I update it to know if it will break things or not.
Any ideas where I can find the change logs to maybe find out where to look for this bug?
Thanks,

When I ftp into the Upgrade directory, and delete whatever is there, then repeat the upgrade process, the upgrade works. The same is true whether I am upgrading my version of WordPress or a plugin. I do not have this problem in my other blogs. Any thoughts?
and then you cannot see the site… I have tried to upload new themes thru ftp and also upload and rename current themes but still nothing.
please help….thanks
