Upgrading wordpress from free to paid..Help please (6 posts)

  • Hi everyone. i was using a free wordpress them from magpress( which i startged some post already). It was the free version and i realy liked it so i purchased the upgraded one. My hostiing is with godaddy. The developer sent me the paid version. i downloaded it to my PC. According to the developer all i had to replace are these files (if i already had the free version) and it states this

    If you had installed this theme before, you just need to ftp inside wp-content/themes/avare folder and replace:

    sidebar.php
    lib/functions/theme-functions.php
    lib/functions/optiond-functions.php

    I have replaced these files in my godaddy with godaddy FTP in the correct folders. when i go back to wordpress admin i still have the free one and not the paid one.  how do i get wordpress to reflect the paid version without deleting my blogs.

    yes it would be easy just to upload the whole new file but i dont want my info lost.?????? 

    Thank you ahead of time for your help.

  • Hi, maybe it is easier to ask Magpress about this.

    The mention of a free theme in the themes overview would be in the stylesheet (style.css). When the file is not replaced the image and text for the theme will not have changed.

    FYI copying all the theme files of the paid version will not affect the content of your blog or the settings of your theme unless you changed something in you theme files.

  • consulted with magpress and iv already done what they have recommended.  This is the first time i deal with magpress website..  After all said and done they e mailed me and stated if i would allow them administrative access to my account on wordpress. im kind of hesitant on that since i dont know much about the comany.

  • what is your blog domain?

  • Just started the blog not long ago so i only have one artible. I wanted to settle on wich wordpress theme first before i actualy start blogging steadily. .
