How to Update Your Keystone Themes WordPress Theme

Keeping your theme up to date is essential for maintaining peak performance, compatibility, and security. This guide will help you update your theme using two available methods: Automatic Update and Manual Update.

Automatic Update Method

The easiest and most efficient way to update your theme is through the automatic update feature. To use this, you must register your product.

Steps:

  1. Activate your theme.
  2. Navigate to your WordPress Dashboard → Updates.
  3. Under the Themes section, check for any available updates. If none appear, click Check Again to refresh.
  4. Select your theme from the list and click Update Themes.
  5. Wait for the process to complete. A success message will confirm the update.

If required plugins also need updating, follow this guide: [Update Required Plugins].

Manual Update Methods

If you prefer or need to update the theme manually, you can do so using either the WordPress dashboard or FTP. Before starting, download the latest version of the theme from ThemeForest.

Method 1: Using Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades Plugin

  2. Install and activate the Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades plugin.
  3. Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New and click Upload Theme.
  4. Select the theme-name.zip file from your computer and click Install Now.
  5. If any required plugins need updates, follow this guide: [Update Required Plugins].

Method 2: Manual Update via FTP

  1. Download the latest version of the theme from ThemeForest.
  2. Use an FTP client (e.g., FileZilla, WinSCP, or Transmit) to access your hosting server.
  3. Navigate to wp-content/themes/ and delete the existing theme-name folder.
  4. Upload the new theme-name folder in its place.
  5. If plugins also need updating, refer to the [Update Required Plugins] guide.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter errors (like a white screen or upload failure), don’t worry. These are often common and easily resolved. Refer to the [Cannot Upload the Theme] article for solutions.

Conclusion

Regularly updating your theme and plugins ensures your website stays secure, fast, and feature-rich. By using the automatic or manual update method, you can keep your Keystone Themes product running smoothly and take full advantage of new improvements.
