How To Update WordPress Themes via Admin Panel | WP Learning Lab

As with anything WordPress, the developers try to make updating WordPress themes as easy as possible.

Why update themes at all? There are three main reasons.

1. Security. Vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit are found on a regular basis and patched by theme developers (the good developers anyway).

2. Bugs. As customers use a theme they will discover things that don't work quite as the should or they'll discover conflicts with plugins. The theme developer can then address these issues and issue a theme update to address them.

3. Style changes. Every few years there are major design trends that sweep the internet. If the theme developer doesn't update their themes to reflect these new trends they will lose customers.

All that to say, when a WordPress theme update is available you should update it as soon as you can. It's quite easy to do, but as always, make sure you backup your site files and MySQL database first.

Let's carry one. When updating WordPress themes all you have to do is log into your WordPress admin and click on Appearance, then Themes.

You will be presented with a list of all themes installed on your website. The top left theme is the currently active one. If an update is available there will be an orange bar at the top of the theme preview tile that says Update Available.

To do the WordPress theme upgrade all you have to do is click on Update Available and it will start. You will be notified when the update is successfully completed and you can then choose to activate the theme, if it's not your currently active theme: https://youtu.be/pyiQfwfU4Mo

Or you can use Live Preview to see how the update looks: https://youtu.be/Ca0AvO-Ewzw

You can update themes that aren't your currently active theme as well. Upgrading WordPress themes is as easy as that.

We backed up your site files just in case something went wrong with the update.
