    Hi Bill,

    I tried to update the theme to 1.4.1 and got this message:
    —

    Unpacking the package…

    Installing the theme…

    Destination folder already exists. /public_html/test-4/wp-content/themes/foxy/

    Theme install failed.

    Do you have a step-by-step on updating themes so I can see what step I missed.

    Thanks.

    Becky,

    Good question. If you’d like to use the built in theme uploader, then you’ll need to unzip the foxy.zip folder and rename the folder to something like foxy-update. Then zip it back up. WordPress will then let you use the uploader to add in the update.

    Or you can use a FTP program to upload the new theme folder to replace the old one.

    Let me know if you have any trouble,
    Bill

    Hi Bill,

    Got that to work. Thanks!

    I updated on a test site so I could compare the update to the original site. Here’s the updates I had to make.

    – All of the Theme Options went to default. I had to reload the logo, favicon, and slideshow images from the media library and copy the social media links.
    – I copied and pasted from the original site CSS changes (Appearance/Theme Options/Style) to the updated one.
    – The menu had to be selected again.
    – Upload dark social image icons since I changed from a dark background to a light background.
