Hello! I have an “envato” theme and it has a lot of updates but i can’t update it because im afraid to lose my customization.
Also, my store is getting slow and I would like to have someone help me with that please!
Thank you
Hello @salobm , If you need a theme update then can contact me directly for services.
Updating or migrating a theme to a newer version can be a difficult thing to do especially if those changes have not been documented, the code is modular and a bevy of other considerations such as whether a proper process like version control was used to track those changes, etc.
Themes vary wildly in implementation so this is not an automatic process, nor can a platform like shopify provide support for such a process, especially for some third marketplace code.
Generally for DIY the process is to get a diff tool like meld https://meldmerge.org/ and compare ALL the files of the two themes by comparing their directories after having downloading/export and unzipping the themes. Then copy&paste and test and then retest,etc etc
Though a themes structure can change massively between versions so it’s not a simple 1:1 transplant process, making it a daunting process for beginners without any coding experience.
If you need a theme update then can contact me directly for services.
Please provide context, examples: store url, theme name, post url(s) , or any further detail.
