I am unable to update X Theme

I have an email letting me know that the newest version of X Theme is available. When I check X Theme doc I see that there is a version 7.2 available, and that the latest update was just this February, but my wordpress dashboard shows I have version 4.1.1 and that there is no update available, and even says that I have the most curren version.

I have spent over an hour trying to figure out how to update my theme and haven’t been able to make any progress.

This all started because where I used to have icons on my website now I have little broken squares and I was trying to figure out how to get rid of these little broken squares that are all over my website.

Website is fullpotentialmen.com

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi @StraitClinic,

Thank you for writing in and sorry that you’re having that issue, your version of X and X - Shortcode is outdated (x 4.1.1 x-shortcodes 3.0.5), In fact X - Shortcodes plugin is deprecated and replaced with Cornerstone.

Here’s what you need to do, first deactivate and delete your X - Shortcodes plugin, then perform a Manual Update for your X theme (follow the guide on the following link)

How to Perform a Manual Update

After you successfully update your X theme to the latest version (7.2), a notice on top on your admin dashboard will show up to install the Cornerstone, please follow that notice.

Remember to clear all your caching features (plugin, server-side, CDN, and browser’s cache) after updating so that the code from the latest release is always in use. This will help you to avoid any potential errors.

After the update and you still don’t see the icons, please navigate to X > Theme Options > Miscellaneous and make sure all FontAwesome are all turn On.

Let us know how it goes,
Cheers!

Thank you so much! That was exactly what I needed to know! It worked perfectly just like you said it would. Thank you for explaining that so well so that it was so easy it was fun for me to do. Have a great rest of your day.

We are delighted to assist you with this.

Cheers!

Hello @lcakametrobeatz,

At this time we kindly ask that you open up your issue in a separate thread along with your site details so we can investigate. The longer threads get in the forum, they become more difficult to support as they tend to drift off topic and they also make it troublesome for users trying to search for solutions. Keeping threads relevant to their original inquiry ensures that we can keep better track of what has been resolved and that users can more effectively find answers to similar issues they might be experiencing.

Thank you very much.
