How to update the theme?

You can update our theme by following these simple steps:

1. Go to the “Downloads” page on ThemeForest, find the Waxom theme, click the “Downloads” button and from the dropdown list select “Download latest All files & documentation file” or “Installable WordPress file only”.

2. If you downloaded “All files..”, extract the big .zip file and find waxom.zip inside. If you downloaded just the “Installable WordPress file” then the downloaded .zip is the one you are looking for (you can rename it to waxom.zip).

3a. Option A (faster & easier): log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Appearance / Themes, activate another theme (so Waxom is deactivated). Once you do so and while still being on Themes page, click on Waxom and choose “Delete” in the bottom right corner. Delete the theme. Now upload the waxom.zip file as you would install a brand new theme on your website.

3b. Option B (slower): Unzip the waxom.zip file on your computer and then copy & replace the content of waxom folder to /wp-content/themes/waxom folder of your web site (using an FTP client like FileZilla).

Note: Following this method, none of existing content or settings will be lost (Option B).


For automatic updates please install the Envato Market plugin.


Plugins:
You can now download the latest versions of the plugins from here: https://plugins.veented.com/

Most plugins should be able to update via the WordPress dashboard via the above or normal method. When it says you cannot and you need to buy a licence (such as Visual Composer or Revolution Slider), you will need to update the plugin differently.

Just follow these steps:
1. Deactivate and delete the plugin
2. Go to Appearance > Install Plugins
3. Select the plugin from there and install and activate

That will now be the latest version of the plugin bundled with the theme.

Plugin Licences:
Please note that we do not include licences for the 3rd Party plugins bundled with the theme. They come ‘as is’ and we provide updates for them with the theme updates. You do not have to purchase licences for them.
