wordpress update
-
hi!
i'm taking over my website, that was designed by a friend with Lay Theme on an old wordpress version. it's currently running under the WP 5.1.9 version. I'd like to update my WP to the newest 5.7.1 (in order to use elementor on some other pages). do you think i could do the update, without loosing my website?
thanks -
Dear @arthurth
Updating Wordpress is recommended and you will not loose data. If you ever feel there is a risk with a website it is good practice to make backups before proceeding.
However i would advise about having both Elementor and Laytheme installed on the same site as they will most likely clash with each other and cause a lot of bugs.
Hope this helps Arthur & best wishes

Before you post:
- When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
- Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
- Disable all Plugins
- Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"
This often solves issues you might run into
When you post:
- Post a link to where the problem is
- Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
- If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
