Latest version Basel Theme Migration issue from Old Version: 4.6.1

[nayem]

Hello, Support Team for the Basel Theme!

We’re presently using your Basel theme Version: 4.6.1. We’ve recently renewed our theme license and obtained the latest update using an automated online theme update. We encountered a significant loss of content on our website. Consequently, we had to restore our website using an original running backup, as this is our live production website.

We have contacted your team by email at “[email protected].”

Here is their reply:

“They replied us “Please, create a topic on our support forum and provide us all the necessary details about the request with some screenshots and including your admin access so we can help you https://xtemos.com/forums/forum/basel-premium-template/
If your support is already expired then you need to extend it on ThemeForest first.”

Here are a few queries that we have to resolve our theme updating issue:

1. Is it possible for us to update the current version, 4.6.1, to the latest version, or is it not compatible with an upgrade because the current version is too old?
2. How can we update the latest theme version without compromising our existing website content? Please provide us with a step-by-step guide.
3. What does your team mean by “admin access”? What type of access do you guys need, and how do we give it to you?
4. If we give you “admin access,” then can you guys update our theme to the latest version (without losing any of our existing website content) from your end?

Thank you.

What exactly do you mean by “significant loss of content”? Please, provide us with more details and screenshots of the faced problems.

As this is our live production website we had to restore our website using an original running backup. So currently we can’t show you the screenshots.

We are experiencing a significant loss of content on our website, which includes issues such as our logo and website style not displaying correctly. Despite choosing your Basel theme “ELECTRONICS” style, after an update, it reverted back to the default style. Our footer is not displaying properly, and the slider is also malfunctioning. Additionally, our item categories are not showing as intended, and our phone number has been replaced with the original theme default number. The alignment and text size of our promo banner are incorrect, and our blogs are appearing on the right side of the homepage, contrary to our original setup. These are just a few of the many issues we are encountering.

That’s why we are asking your team to update the theme on our behalf!

But it didn’t look like that before we updated the theme. Try to upload your logo and adjust header settings in Theme Settings -> Header.

Kind Regards

Can you guide me through changing our website’s theme from “HOME DEFAULT” to “ELECTRONICS”?

Hello,

Yesterday, your team attempted to update our website theme which caused several changes to its style and functionality. As a result, we had to restore our website to the previous version from our backup.

We kindly request that you revisit our website to assess its current condition. This will enable you to compare it with the updated version and identify the changes that occurred after the update.

Once you have reviewed the website, please proceed to update the theme from your end. We have attempted to do this twice, but it did not work as expected.

Thank you.

Hello,

When we visited your website before the update it didn’t look like that. Also, as we mentioned, after the update you may need to reconfigure the header on your website and add widgets to the footer. As for the widgets, you can export them before the update and import them with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-importer-exporter/

Kind Regards

Hello, I’m ensuring you that the way our website is currently looking is the original version of our website before we process to update it. Maybe when you checked our website, as per your suggestion, we disabled all our plugins and switched to the parent theme. That’s why maybe there are some differences you see now, and now it looks different to you.

Can you please tell us, after updating the theme, what specifically changes in our website? Is there other way to avoid any changes during the update?

Also, please tell us if we start a new website again and use the same theme, how can we choose the Basel theme “Electronics” style?

Is there any option to change the Basel theme “Electronics” style on our current website?

Thanks.

Hello,

If you see that your website changes when you switch off plugins and child theme then it is not related to the theme update. Maybe you have some customizations made in the child theme.

After the update, your settings shouldn’t be changed at all. You can read all the changes here https://xtemos.com/basel-changelog.php

You can import our Electronics demo if you install our theme from scratch as any other demo. You can also switch the imported demo version in Basel -> Dummy content.

Kind Regards
