    Hi! Once I updated WP and plugins, my revolution slider no longer worked (see byday.com). And I was getting following error whenever I tried to activate Revolution Slider:

    >Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home3/…(etc. etc.)

    So I went to update my appdev version. But when I do, I get the following error when I go to install:

    >Destination folder already exists.
    Theme installation failed.

    How do I just UPDATE existing appdev theme instead of acting like I’m doing a NEW INSTALL? Do I have to delete and re-install, and if I do, will it break the site?

    Thank you!!!

    Unless you have done major customization of the theme, updating the theme should not break the existing site or remove existing data.

    Since we released a major version recently, I recommend you test out the update in a test installation and then update. You can import the production data into a test installation, load our updated theme and see if there are any issues.

    You can just delete the theme and reinstall the updated one or you can use a plugin like this one – https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-theme-and-plugin-upgrades/ to update the theme.

    I loaded the latest version of the rev slider on your site and it activates fine. Pls check.
