Dear brilliant people at X.

LOVE X. I have used it on several sites. I am lost though on this issue. The forum didn’t exactly cover it; sorry to bother but I hope you can assist.

An automatic X update broke my site – twice this week. I restored the site to an earlier date and that fixed is but I realize this is merely a band-aid.
Can you tell me the correct steps, in order, to be able to update the theme without it breaking the site? Thank you so much!

URL: FoxGinn.com
WP: 4.4.2
Child theme: Icon 1.0.0
Theme X, current version 4.3.2
Cornerstone is not installed.

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! You can use a staging server to update your site. So that if any issue arise, you can take care of that and we can also have a look there. When you are done with that then you can proceed to the live site.

So now setup a staging site (a subdomain maybe?) and create a instance of your current site. Then update and see if you face any issue.

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers!

Hi there,

To duplicate your site please check this : https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

I guess I know what’s going on after updating. What you’re seeing is a result of the X CSS path structure being changed back in version 4.3.3. You can fix this by using the updated child theme format that isn’t stack specific. Or you can update the path in style.css of your child theme. For more information on this process, take a look at the 4.3.3 release notes: http://theme.co/changelog/#theme-4-3-3

Hope it helps.
