Update from 3.12 to 4 with custom theme

[Catherine Lennon]

Hello everyone

i am doing an upgrade from 3.12.6 to 4.0.6. I had a tribe-events folder in my theme and there i had modified the standard theme. Now i renamed the folder, updated the TEC and the TEC PRO and Tickets plugins and everything seems to be fine. If i rename the theme folder back to tribe-events the old theme i had seems to be working but my question is, is this the correct way OR i should do the theme from scratch in the new copy of the views copied over files?

I hope i didn’t confuse you
Best

Hey Catherine,

I do not know of a specific problem with the method you describe here—you should be good to go with proceeding in this way.

I should point out, however, that making a backup of your site and database is something I would recommend before installing or updating any piece of software on your site! Not just The Events Calendar 🙂 But any other plugin, your theme, or WordPress itself of course.

Just my two cents on that—and I would recommend a backup here before proceeding, just for good measure—but yes, you should be able to proceed in the manner you’ve described without issue.

Sincerely,
George

OK, i will go ahead with that.

Thanks

Sounds good @Catherine!

Let me know how the updating goes 🙂

George
