Upgrade Enigmatic does not work

[Per Olof Olsson]

We bought a new version of Enigmatic because we wants to use
HTTPS and as we understand is that only possible in new versions.

But we have made a lot of modifications that will be lost if
we uninstall the old Theme so we can install the new one.

Is there no way to just upgrade and keep all our modifications.

You can follow the regular procedure if you haven’t done any modification in themefiles..ie. just delete the theme through wp-dashboard and upload latest theme zip file.
OR
Updating Theme –
The way I update is to replace all files. No matter what method you use (there are plugins too like this – http://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-theme-and-plugin-upgrades/ and http://www.wpexplorer.com/envato-wordpress-toolkit-guide/ to update easily), you will need to backup your changes and redo any changes you made to the files on the new installation.

Use tools like DiffMerge or WinMerge to compare the old and new files and redo the changes. You will spend probably an hour doing this but not more, specially if you have made changes only to a few select files.

The dashboard settings will be retained and hence Custom CSS entered into theme options should be fine. It’s always a good idea to have a backup though. Hope this helps.
