    Hello,

    Yes, it is recommended to use compatible versions of theme and woocommerce, so you need to update theme to latest version.
    Don’t forget to create backup of your files and database before starting update process!
    You need to enter your purchase code to activate our new theme version and skip Setup Wizard.
    Do not forget to update all required plugins https://www.8theme.com/download-plugins/ (to update free plugins just click on update link from your Dashboard (Plugins > Installed Plugins); to update premium plugins, connect to your server using FTP. Copy extracted plugins folders into wp-content/plugins/).
    Also, from the 4.0 update, all the custom styles come not like inline CSS but as styles from separate file – dynamic.css (to speed up the site loading). If you created child theme before 4.0 update you need to make changes in your child theme functions.php file and add one line http://prntscr.com/ikbhbt
    wp_enqueue_style( 'dynamic-css', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/dynamic.css' );
    after that create an empty dynamic.css file in child theme directory.

    Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

    Regards

    Hello,

    1. Backup files and database
    2. Update theme (delete “woocommerce” folder, which is located in wp-content/themes/woopress/ to avoid problems with old files)
    3. Update plugins
    4. Create an empty dynamic.css file in woopress-child theme folder and set permissions 777 for the file + add wp_enqueue_style( 'dynamic-css', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/dynamic.css' ); in woopress-child/functions.php file. Then go to Theme Options and re-save them

    Regards

    If you use the child theme you need to create dynamic.css file via FTP > http://prntscr.com/iowdld
    If you do not use the child theme, you can download it here https://www.8theme.com/download-plugins/ and upload it to /wp-content/themes/ folder of your server (WordPress child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality of the parent theme. With child theme you can make modification or add additional functionality to parent theme. A child theme is the safest and easiest way to modify an existing theme, whether you want to make a few tiny changes or extensive changes.)
