X theme update and search layout

Hi there,

I have 2 questions about the X theme.
-I need to update the theme to 6.5.5. What is the best way to do this without losing anything (data/content/etc) of my website?
-I would like to have another search layout than the regular X theme one, is this possible? If yes, how can I change this?

I look forward to your response, many thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Hi Antwin,

Thanks for reaching out.

  1. There should be no problem updating it unless you’re upgrading it from a very old version, like major versions apart. It would require redoing some content or setting for versions that has a very large gap. Regardless, you should always back up your site before updating it, and do the update test in a staging instead of your actual site so in the case goes wrong, you have time to fix and compare it to still working one. Please check this related thread https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/slider-revolution-error-message/48874

  2. That would require custom development which we can’t provide here in the forum. But this should help as reference for working with X templates. https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/how-to-upload-xtheme-to-child-theme/43246/2, then please check this https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Search_Page, the idea should be the same while following the X theme file hierarchy. You would create multiple template parts and use x_get_view() to call them ( https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/customizations-best-practices/205 )

Hope this helps :slight_smile:
