    I’m a web developer and I just took over this site. Is it possible to upgrade the Responsive theme from version 1.9.8.2 to 4.7.4? The owner said if he updates, it breaks the design which does not surprise me. Is there an upgrade path available an documentation on what I need to change?

  • Hi there,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    There is no way to upgrade the theme from v1.9.8.2 to v4.7.4 without causing any issues as the latest version of the responsive theme has been updated according to WordPress standards.

    However, you can install and activate the latest version of the responsive theme and design your website from the scratch.

    Also, consider using the responsive pro plugin as it adds more features to the responsive theme.

    Feel free to contact us in case of any issues.

    From an outsider’s point of view my best advice is create a test site separately and carefully migrate the content and structure, design the work around needed, test it thoroughly, then conduct an overnight up-date of the old site, transfer all settings from test to working site and you should have the results you need.

    There are plugins you can use to export all customiser settings from test to working site for swift change-over, and export the old site in case you need to roll back to fix any issues.

    Hope this helps.
