    I am using your outdated theme, the one you offered for free.  I have since purchased the theme.  I am worried about uploading it and losing all of my work.  I am using the Child Theme.  Can you give me instructions on how to upload the purchased theme and tell me if I will lose any of my data?  Thank you in advance!

    Hi Kimberly !

    Go to Themeforest and download the latest theme
    # then unzip to get the main theme, now you extract the main theme and rename its folder, then continue to compress this theme folder and upload to WP at Appearance-> Themes,
    Now you will have our 2 themes in 2 different versions, you can activate the new theme to check

    thank you

    After I activate the new theme to check, then I reactivate the child theme?  Sorry, I've never done this before and I don't want all of my work to disappear.

    Hi Kimberly!

    Your theme-child remains the same with the old theme version, and the new theme has been uploaded, they are completely independent of each other, you can reactivate the theme if something goes wrong or be sure to back-up again. Certainly no matter what happens

    thank you
