Upgrade X from a very old version

[pakalrtb]

I have a website on a very very very old version of X , more precisely Version: 2.3.0 with a child theme X - Child Theme: EthosVersion: 1.0.0 .
It is even possible to move from my version directly to the latest one ? Should I manually upload the theme ? How about the Child theme ?

Thank you in advance for the support.

Hi Pasquale,

Unfortunately, I don’t see a simple path to update the theme to the latest version as you have a very old and unsupported version of the theme.

The best way to go about is to install a new version of the WordPress website and install the latest version of the X theme. After that, you can install the new version Child Theme which is different than the version that you installed.

Then, you can go over and set the options of the theme new version to make sure the look and feel of the website are as close as possible to the old version. But unfortunately, there is no guarantee that there is a one to one options and you will do your best to make it similar but not exact.

You can use your licenses page Staging section to validate the new version while you have the old version validated, so you can have two versions installed on a separate WordPress installation.

Thank you for your understanding.
