Vice DHRK Update:

If you are using DHRK, make sure to update the main Vice theme first.
The child theme named Vice DHRK can’t be updated automatically, since is not the main theme. This procedure requires the following steps:

  1. Please make sure to download the full product folder (all files and documentation) from https://themeforest.net/downloads
  2. Unzip the folder in your computer, and identify the zip named “vide-dhrk.zip”
  3. In your wordpress Admin click themes > add new > upload
  4. Choose “vice-dhrk.zip” from your computer and replace the old version
  5. Control your website o verify it’s functionaliy.

Plugins update

IMPORTANT: After updating the theme remember to update all the required plugins. If you don’t, some parts of your website won’t work properly.

Manual Update (FTP):

You can download new updates from Themeforest.net/downloads for as long as the product is maintained

A full file and database backup is recommended before updating.
No pages or site contents are deleted when updating themes or plugins.
If you used the child theme, just replace the main theme file and leave the child theme intact.

1. Unzip the theme folder on your local computer (for example on the desktop)
2. Backup your old theme version located in wp-content/themes/vice
3. Upload the theme via FTP replacing the old theme folder in wp-content/themes
4. Update the plugins

NOTICE: Each update version contains the list of changes in/readme.txt. Before updating always check what’s new, as some big updates may require additional actions.
