Manual Update

Manually replacing your current version of Profimed with an updated version is as easy as 1-2-6! First off, you’ll need to download the updated version of the theme, which includes both the main theme and the child theme (which serves as a backup for all the custom changes you make to your styles etc).

Next on, installing it, the child theme and export-import steps are due.

Export

Afterwards you’ll need to backup some of the settings, just in case:

Afterwards proceed to the Appearance > Themes, switch to any other default Wordpress theme as your current one, and be sure to delete the Profimed theme from that list.
Returning now to the ZIP file of the updated version of the theme that you’ve downloaded previously, be sure to follow the following steps:
- open the WordPress Administration panel and go to the Appearance > Themes section;

- click the Add new button and click Upload theme;

- after that, repeat the same steps for the Child theme, which you’ve previously unpacked from that same file as the main theme.

After installing this updated Profimed theme anew, proceed to update the Plugins, by going to the sidebar on your left > Updates.
Then tick all the checkboxes for the listed plugins and click the Update All button at the top.

Import

Now you’ll need to import back those settings which you’ve exported in a previous step:

- to do that go to your Profimed admin dashboard > then on your left go to the Customizing section > Export/Import, and choose the Import option;

- click the Add new button and click Upload theme.

Following that, to save your custom styles, locate the main Profimed backup folder on your web server (1.2 in the list of steps) > Styles.CSS file > and copy those parts of the code that you’ve changed there into the Styles.CSS file that’s located in the new folder of an updated Profimed version.
