To keep things safe please consider [backing up your website](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/backup/) and database before doing any updates to your website.
{% endhint %}

If there is a specific procedure required during the update, this will be shared on the **Facebook** and [**X** (Twitter)](https://x.com/BooliiT62007) pages.

### Automatic Theme Update

You can get automatic theme updates with help of [**Envato Market**](https://envato.com/market-plugin/) plugin.\
[Watch an instructional **video** on how to use the plugin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPm3D78rJDY), or read a [complete, illustrated instructions on how to use it](https://www.wpexplorer.com/envato-market-plugin-guide/).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip: Automatic update failed?**

If automatic update fails for whatever reason, please update the theme **manually**
{% endhint %}

### Manual Theme Update

Download the theme ZIP package from where you've obtained it originally. Then follow the steps below:

**Updating via WordPress dashboard**

A simple way of doing a manual theme update is deleting and reinstalling the theme directly via WordPress dashboard. You can [read an article](https://wptheming.com/2016/02/how-to-overwrite-a-theme/) or [watch a video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3ntxBYZhg4) on how to do this.

**Updating via FTP**

This is more advanced manual update procedure and you will need an FTP client (such as [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/)) to connect to your server:

1. Download the newest theme ZIP file from where you've obtained it and unpack the ZIP file on your computer.
2. Now you will need an [FTP client](https://filezilla-project.org/) to connect to your server.
3. On your server navigate to `WORDPRESS_FOLDER/wp-content/themes/` folder.
4. Delete the existing `ileana` folder (or create a backup just in case - you can do this simply by renaming the folder name by appending `.backup` to its name so it becomes `ileana.backup`, for example).
5. Copy the unpacked theme `ileana` folder from your computer (from step 1 above) into `WORDPRESS_FOLDER/wp-content/themes/` folder on your server.
6. Log into your WordPress admin area and check the version of the theme in Appearance → Themes. Your theme should be updated now. (And you can delete the `ileana.backup` folder from step 4 above.)
