Last updated 10 months ago

Restimo comes with the ability to update automatically via 2 different methods. You can use the Envato Toolkit for automatic theme updates and notifications or you can update manually via FTP/SFTP.

Before Updating: Before updating your theme make sure WordPress is up to date. The Restimo theme makes use of all new functions provided in WordPress to keep things optimized and up to date.

Option 1: Automatic Updates Via Envato Toolkit

The Envato Toolkit is a great plugin created by Envato so you can update any ThemeForest theme right via your WordPress dashboard. You can have a look at the full guide below to see how this plugin is used.

Option 2: Manual Updates Via FTP/SFTP Override

Of course you can always update by simply overriding all files via FTP or SFTP.

  • Step 1: Download the “Installable WordPress file only” from ThemeForest.

  • Step 2: Access your server via FTP or SFTP (if you aren’t sure how usually your webhost will have instructions somewhere on their site)

  • Step 3: Upload to wp-content/themes/

  • Step 4: Delete and override the “restimo” folder files with the new ones downloaded in step 1.

Important: Sometimes files are deleted inside the Theme so make sure that your program is deleting all files and uploading the new ones when it overrides instead of simply “updating newer files”. It can cause issues if you have files on your server inside the theme that are no longer used in the theme itself.
