Ok to Upgrade Worpress?

  • I noticed in my Dashboard that it says a new version of WordPress is available. Should I install it? I don’t want the update to break what I’ve changed in this theme so far.

  • Hi,
    if you have made code changes in any file you will lose them! Unless you create a child theme, If you decide to proceed I would suggest you create a child theme, copy over the files you have edited there. This will allow your changes to survive future theme updates. If you directly edit the theme’s files, all changes will be lost once you update.

    Have a look at this guide to learn more about child themes and how to create one https://www.cssigniter.com/ignite/beginners-guide-child-themes/

    If you havent made any changes you can update safely.

    Always keep a backup just in case everything goes wrong.
    Let me know if you need additional help on this.
