  • It is recommended to stop the site (this can usually be done in the hosts management panel)
  • If you have modified the theme file before, please take a note of the modified file for future operation.

update

  • Delete all old theme files in your site disk space.
  • Upload the new theme file to the website space to ensure consistency with the previous directory structure.
  • Start up your website, if you are lucky, nothing more you need to do, update is complete

Pay attention

  • If you have used any CDN before, it is recommended to refresh all css and js files in the CDN after the update is complete.
  • The theme files that you modified before need to be modified one by one again.
  • It is recommended to use the FTP tool for uploading files. It is not recommended to upload the theme with a zip file in the WordPress background.
