okay, sorry to post so many times…i figured out the mobile menu scroll issue with some css…so it is working again…but i definitely need the update, as i think that will fix my responsive header issue, correct? thank you again…

also, i was able to login to my theme account and i downloaded “lavish-pro.4.1.8.zip” but not sure how to update the child theme i’m using with it…getting closer…and again, thank you!!! hopefully this is the last round of support i will need!!

Hello Blake,

Good to hear everything working now!
Regarding update, you don’t need to perform anything on your child theme. If you’ve made and saved the customization works in child theme you are ready to make the update. Just update your parent theme. Here is the tutorial again; https://www.styledthemes.com/installing-updating-themes/

thank you…but if i activate the parent theme, i lose my child theme? so the tutorial just looks like it is for installing anew theme…but i have lavish pro and lavish pro child installed already in my themes folder, but as you see in my screenshot, there is no way to update them…

so i have the zip of the update, but if i install and activate, i lose my child theme…so i am not sure how to proceed, as the tutorial does not describe this scenario…

thank you

this is the error message i got when i tried to install the lavish pro 4.1.8 version:

Installing Theme from uploaded file: lavish-pro.4.1.8.zip
Unpacking the package…

Installing the theme…

Destination folder already exists. /home/content/p3pnexwpnas15_data02/11/3742211/html/wp-content/themes/lavish-pro/

Theme install failed.

i have no idea what to do now??!

help!

Hello Blake,

You need to delete the older version of the theme before installing the zip file. The tutorial above clearly guides you how to update the theme if you have the older version. Please go throughout the entire tutorial.

Best regards!

i did but i’m confused, do i delete the child version or the parent version? that is not clear in the tutorial. thanks…

[Bidur]

You need to delete the parent theme and upload the new version of the theme if you have the zip file.

Thanks!

I have the zip file, but the parent theme is not “deleteable”, as there is no “delete” button in the bottom right corner of the themes page like it shows on the tutorial?

sorry, i am not trying to be difficult, but it is just not very intuitive!

see no delete button

never mind…i figured it out..it was merely fear….fingers crossed!

okay, so i think i updated? i deactivated the child theme, deleted the lavish pro parent, reinstalled the updated the lavish pro parent, then reactivated the child theme…

but on my mobile phone, the header is still not responsive? i tried to remove it on a mobile with a few code options, but they all failed…

so i must be using the wrong code…

@media only screen and (device-width: 990px){
#header {
display:none;
}
}

how can i get the header just not to display on a mobile device?
as it still does not work

thanks!

You got to switch themes and delete the one which is not activated. We again request you to follow the documentation thoroughly. ALternatively you can also update the theme http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-update-a-wordpress-theme-without-losing-customization/ via FTP

Note: Always make a backup of your site before proceeding.

Best Regards,

that is exactly what i did — backup is complete, deletion of old lavish pro complete, new lavish pro parent installed, child theme reactivated…that part appears to be complete, but i’m still not seeing the mobile header bug fix? do you have some simple code (like what i wrote above) so i can hide my header on a mobile device…

thank you
