FrontRunner v1.0.31 is now available for download via your ThemeForest download page.

VERY, VERY IMPORTANT → If you are updating from an earlier version of the FrontRunner theme than v1.0.17, note that the donation/payment processing feature has had a major update which means that the old Donor Submission form needs updating. Please refer to this tutorial article for more information and instructions → http://para.llel.us/support/tutorials/updates-to-donor-submission-form/

How to update the theme

Remember to backup your entire website (files and database) before updating. To update you will need FTP access to your website.

   - Read the VERY, VERY IMPORTANT note above.
   - Download the latest version from your ThemeForest downloads area.
   - Unzip the file that you downloaded.
   - Find the latest version in the WordPress folder (‘theme-frontrunner-v1.0.31.zip‘) and unzip it.
   - Use FTP to replace the old ‘wp-content/themes/parallelus-frontrunner‘ folder with the new one.
   - Go to Dashboard > Updates and click the Check Again button to see if updates to the theme’s required and recommended plugins are available.
     All available updates will then be listed and you can update items directly from that page.

IMPORTANT → The best way to guarantee a complete and proper update is to use FTP to delete the existing ‘parallelus-frontrunner’ theme folder on your server and then upload the new theme folder from your computer to your server. Any changes you’ve made to the theme’s files will be lost. None of your theme settings, WordPress settings or other data (such as articles) will be affected because this is all stored in your website’s database.

IMPORTANT → If you are using a child theme don’t forget to also update the child theme’s ‘assets’ and ‘data/pages’ folders with the updated ‘assets’ and ‘data/pages’ folders in the parent theme.

IMPORTANT → After updating, please refresh your browser’s caches so that it is not using old, cached versions of the theme’s CSS and JavaScript files. http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/cache/

What’s new in this update

– Fixed some PHP v8 notices.

Should you have any issues after updating the theme, please first deactivate all plugins and test with another theme to make sure your issue is not a plugin conflict or a WordPress issue.

Theme update notifications

Themes purchased from ThemeForest cannot use the normal WordPress notifications and updates system. This is not something we can control, we do not operate the ThemeForest website.

On your ThemeForest downloads page you’ll see an option you can enable that will send you an email every time a theme is updated.

Alternatively, Envato has made a plugin you can use to help keep themes purchased from ThemeForest up to date.

You can download it from here. → https://envato.com/market-plugin/

(Envato is the company that owns and operates the ThemeForest website.)

Thanks.
