How to update?

Please read these instructions carefully. If you can’t update your site we offer the update service for $55 if you have a 2.x, Please before get the update service, contact us.

In this new version the themes API has changed slightly and your custom theme will not work on the publish new page. If we did the custom theme we will be contacting you really soon with instructions.

Since 2.4.0 we are requiring PHP 5.5.x as minimal version. We do this since we need to assure you have a decent updated version of PHP installed at your hosting. So before you update be sure you have 5.5. you can ask your hosting for this.

We can not be responsible for fail updates during the update process and we won’t fix those issues for you. If you are not sure, how to do it, please buy our professional update here.
