Update Theme - Plugins
Firstly, Traveler releases the manual-update version on Themeforest. You can download and update it manually
Later on, Traveler will release the automatic-update version via Auto Update WordPress
1. Update Automatically
Make sure that you have registered by your purchase code before
After updating the theme, don’t forget to update the required plugins.
Besides, with the Elementor demo, go to the Elementor > Tools > General, click the Regenerate CSS & Data and Sync Library to clear the cache.

In the WordPress Dashboard, go to Appearance > Themes.
Under the Themes section, click Update Now to start updating your website
Method 2

Under the Themes section, select Traveler > click Update themes to start updating your website
2. Update Manually
With the Manual Update Method, you can either choose to manually upload the theme files via FTP or WordPress. Before you manually update, you have to download the theme files from ThemeForest.
2.1. Download on ThemeForest
Step 1 – Login your ThemeForest account, navigate to ‘Downloads’ tab and locate your Traveler theme purchase.
Step 2 – Click the ‘Download’ button and choose either download the ‘Install-able WordPress file only’, which is just the WordPress install-able file or choose to download ‘All Files & Documentation’ which is the full Traveler theme package.
Step 3 – After download the files, you need decide to upload the theme files via FTP or WordPress. For instructions on both methods, please continue read following information.
2.2. Manual via FTP
Upload the theme files via FTP requires you to delete your old theme folder entirely. This can ensure that any deprecated theme files are completely removed.
Step 1 – Login your server using FTP and navigate to the wp-content > themes folder. Here you’ll find a folder ‘traveler’.
Step 2 – Backup the ‘Traveler’ theme folder by saving it in your computer, or simply delete it. Your content such as pages, options, images and posts will not be lost or erased by doing this. However, any customization to the theme’s core files, such as PHP files will be lost unless you’re using a child theme.
Step 3 – Retrieve the theme files you’ve just downloaded. If you’ve downloaded the install-able WordPress file, then you only need to extract it to get into the ‘Traveler’ folder. If you’ve downloaded the Full Theme Package you must extract it to access the ‘traveler.zip’ file, and then extract the ‘traveler.zip’ file to get into the ‘traveler’ folder.
Step 4 – Once extracted you can drag and drop the new Traveler theme folder into wp-content > themes folder location. Make sure the folder is traveler.
Don’t forget to update the required plugins
2.3. Manual via WordPress
Step 1 – Retrieve the theme files you’ve just downloaded. If you’ve downloaded the install-able WordPress file, then you do not need to extract it. If you’ve downloaded the Full Theme Package, you have to extract it once to access the secondary ‘traveler.zip’ file.
Step 2 – Navigate to the WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > Themes section of your installation, once again, and click the ‘Add New’ button near the top of the page. Click the ‘Upload Theme’ button.
Step 3 – Click on the ‘Choose File’ button and select the install-able ‘traveler.zip’ file and upload. When done, click "Replace active with uploaded"
Don’t forget to update the required plugins
3. Update Plugins
After the update of Traveler, you will also receive a notification to update the required plugins.
Traveler code and Option tree plugins will be auto-updated by clicking on the updated plugin in the system.
Other plugins (eg WP Bakery Page Builder): deactivated plugin first. After that, click on Update Require. Once done, click activate again
4. FAQs
4.1. Will I lose my customization when updating?
The answer depends on how you have managed your site and customizations.
If you are just using your Traveler theme and have not made any customizations to stylesheets or other Traveler theme files, you won’t lose settings by updating your theme.
The data, like the hotel(room)/tour/activity/rental/car or theme settings, are saved on the database and will not be lost
In case you have modified the CSS in the stylesheet of the Traveler theme or have changed the code in any core Traveler theme files, these changes will be lost after the theme updates. Kindly make your customization on the child theme to avoid that.
