About Theme Updater

Theme Updater streamlines and automates many of the steps required to upgrade your premium theme to the latest version whenever the developer releases an update.

A new version is available, so it’s time to update your theme. Bug fixes, new features, better performance—this new theme version sounds great, but how do I preserve my customizations, secure my settings, and transfer my content to the latest version?

That’s where Theme Updater comes in. Theme Updater does the heavy lifting for updating themes to the latest version, providing speedy upgrades and simplified theme maintenance. Leave tiresome updates behind and let the app take care of moving your content, customizations, and settings to the latest version.

Registration

Notifications

How it works

• When a new version is available, initiate the update
• Adjust the title for your new theme version (e.g. summer update)
• Preserve customizations from the previous theme or start fresh with the default settings
• With these settings prepared, start the update
• The app installs an unpublished copy of the latest version of your theme and leaves your current theme as a backup
