Hi Tony
Thats what I usually do.
Though this time around when I clicked update theme, even using the upload file function, it fails with the below messages:
Unpacking the package…
Installing the plugin…
The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.
Plugin installation failed.
Normally I would update from :
Dashboard > Update > Update Theme (before I update the Core) as per screenshot below
Hello, @Addo,
Thank you for your response.
Please download XStore – Installable Archive from this page – https://www.8theme.com/downloads/
Go to Dashboard > Themes > Add new > Upload theme > Choose file > Install now > click on “Replace current with uploaded” and the theme will be updated on your site.
We kindly recommend that you take a complete backup of your site before proceeding.
For your convenience, here is a visual guide to assist you with the installation process: https://prnt.sc/95nQ73SRPmeN
