How do i upgrade my theme?

To upgrade your website you simply need to overwrite the old files with the new ones. The upgrade installer in the admin area of our themes will try to install the updates for you however with many hosting providers disabling this functionality you may need to download the updated files and manually update theme.

The link to updated files is always available in the admin area under the ‘theme updates’ tab when a new version is available.

Doing a Full Reinstall/Update

Below you will find a quick video tutorial showing you how to do a full reinstall of the theme, this is often the best way to update your website if you have made no modification to theme files.
