Wouldn’t this give me a fresh new, updated theme without any customizations? If I delete what I have now, or upload the new version under a new name, neither will have the customizations from my current theme.

Is there a way to just fix the slider and leave the current theme? Is there a file with the text from my slider that I can edit directly? TY

Hey. I’m back again! ?? My above problem was never fixed. I just left everything as it was and never updated to your latest version. But now I need to upgrade and everything I try is deleting my customizations. I’ve tried copying the style.css file to the child theme. I’ve tried copying all files from the parent to the child, which crashed my site. I would just leave it on the old version, but I’m having a problem with the slider. It will not save my changes when I update the text. I’m assuming this has something to do with the upgrade, so now completing the upgrade to 1.6.9 is important. But I can’t upgrade without losing all my customizations. I need help. Could someone please assit me? Thank you.

Issue is resolved. I had to contact my host to fix an error with my SSL certificate. They were able to correct and I could connect Jetpack on 2/10 at midnight. Jetpack emailed me the evening of 2/11 saying they couldn’t help and for me to contact my host. Apparently they didn’t really look into the issue because Jetpack was connected by then. Oh well. Marked as resolved.

Thank you for your response, but I’m not asking about future updates. I’m asking about the most recent update (within this last week). When I upgraded, it removed all of my customizations, so I reverted back, using my backup files.

The thing is I made changes to some files a long time ago and don’t remember which files I changed. Is there a way to find out which files were changed? If not, if I copy all of the parent files into the child theme before upgrading, will the update be able to make it’s desired changes?
