Estimated reading: 2 minutes

Notice Message!

YOU MUST BACKUP BEFORE UPDATING. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS.

PART 1: MOVE CUSTOMIZATION TO THE CHILD THEME

If any customizations have been made to the parent theme files, it will be overwritten after the update. So we highly recommend that you must install the child theme and move all your customization to the child theme

STEP 1: Make sure the Child Theme is installed and active. ( If not, Please install the child theme which is in your package )

STEP 2: Locate ALL the custom code changes made (either by you, your developer, or even by our Custom Services Team upon your request).

STEP 3: Move all Custom Code changes to the Child theme.

When you move a file that includes custom changes (for example header.php), the file name and the path in the child theme should match with the parent theme. Watch Video

PART 2: MOVE THEME TRANSLATION TO CHILD THEME

PART 3: BACKUP PLUGIN TRANSLATION FILES

STEP 1: Go to /wp-content/plugins/cubewp-addon-classified/languages

STEP 2: Download and save .po and .mo

The .po file name will be different based on the language, for example for Spanish it will be cubewp-addon-classified-es_ES.po. After updating the theme make sure to restore the .po and .mo files in the same location and go to WP Admin > Loco Translate > Plugins > CubeWP Classified Plugin, select the language translation file and click Sync and then Save

PART 4: BACKUP FULL THEME & PLUGIN

We highly encourage you to take a full backup of your WordPress Installation including files and database using any popular WordPress Backup Plugins. (Watch Video)

Backup via cPanel (Recommended)

STEP 1: Log into cPanel > File Manager.

STEP 2: Go to wp-content/themes/

STEP 3: Right-click ClassifiedPro, and then click Compress

Make sure to download all the backup files locally that you compressed above (classified-pro.zip, classified-pro-child.zip, and cubewp-addon-classified.zip).

Now you can proceed with the update.
