Updating 3Clicks Theme (and WordPress, Important!) #Best Education Page #Online Earning

Updating 3Clicks Theme (and WordPress, Important!)



hello it's Alex here from WP eagle calm
now in this video what we're going to be
doing is updating the free clicks theme
I'm running on the demo site the 2015
demo WP eagle calm now I know a lot of
you have running free clicks because
you've watched one of my videos and
there was a important update that came
out just yesterday I think which fixes a
security issue which a number of themes
have I've got at the moment so a lot of
themes need upgrade rating so what I'm
gonna do is update it using FTP because
I think that's the safest way to do it
and what I'm doing does apply to pretty
much any theme that you're running if as
long as you've got a child theme
installed so if you're not very free
clicks this may also work for you too
and what we'll also do is update
WordPress core as well because it was an
update that came up for that yesterday
as well again addressing some security
issues so I'm logged in to the demo site
and I'm gonna go into dashboard and
we'll update WordPress first so
generally when there's a wordpress
update you'll just get a message here
and you can click to please updates now
and most of time it will all be fine if
you're on TSO hosts which again a lot of
my subscribers and visitors and viewers
are they do regular backups so you don't
have to worry too much of things are
wrong because they will better roll it
back for you they generally take your
backup a day sometimes more than one a
day so you should be okay but anyway
click update now and that will update
WordPress and it will download it and
install it all for you it takes a couple
of minutes but with the wonders of video
editing you Tony took a few seconds okay
so that's our WordPress updated so now
let's update the free clicks theme so
what your office you need to do is head
over to theme forest and you need to
download a copy of the latest version so
I'm gonna click you should have a link
there if you will you purchase it or you
can find it in your downloads page which
looks like this
so click download and click all files
that'll be fine that folder will be fine
just save it someone you computer that
you can find it what I'm gonna do is I'm
gonna have a look at that zip file we
downloaded I'm gonna expand it extract
it unzip it I kind of think it's doing
its thing okay and then you'll find
within there there's a folder called WP
final pack and in there there's a couple
of folders one called free clicks and
one called free clicks chartfield1 we're
gonna be using is the free clicks okay
so next what we need to do is FTP
ourselves into the website now I'm gonna
do it using my TSO host account um if
you're using a different hosting
provider it may be slightly different
basically what you need to do is log
into your hosting control panel and get
your ftp details so I've got my control
panel here my dear tow host control
panel and what I need to do is go into
FTP accounts and then I need to add a
new FTP account so I'm just gonna call
it Eagle so the username there is Eagle
at 2015 demo WP Eagle comm I'm gonna add
a password obviously you need to
remember these details then click great
FTP account but also you can use
whatever username password you wish okay
so now you're gonna need a FTP client so
TSO host recommend FileZilla there for
the windows people obviously I'm on a
Mac here and I use a program called
fetch which is a great little FTP client
basically do a Google for an FTP client
FTP software you'll find some that you
can download for free and what you need
to do is put your details in here so if
I look over here this is my FTP IP and
want to copy that paste that into the
hostname
the username is here one we just created
for that in there and then the password
which I'll see created and I can
remember and I'm gonna click connect
okay then when you log in you'll see
something very similar to this what you
need to do is go into public page - I
don't know basically what looking at
here all the files and folders that are
on our web hosting the makeup WordPress
therefore you enter WP content then
themes and here are themes so you've got
the default WordPress themes and then
we've got our free click some free
clicks child theme now we're running the
child theme and what that basically
means is that any modifications that you
make within there don't get messed up
when we do an update like we are now
because what we're gonna do is we're
gonna update the free clicks theme which
is as it can as it comes
if you don't lost that and you haven't
made any changes to this child team do
not worry so what I'm gonna do just in
case anything goes wrong I'm gonna get
the free clicks folder and I'm going to
rename it again this will depend on the
client you're using Hauser's we can get
info there on the Mac and they call it
free clicks old it's our old theme so if
anything goes wrong I can just simply
rename that that's a very clicks and
move back to where we were and then what
I'm going to do I'm gonna get the the
free clicks folder that we just within
the zip file that we just expanded
extract it I'm going to copy that and
it's gonna upload that then over via FTP
that's gonna take a dollar minutes as we
can see so I'll do a quick edit and
speed up time okay so that's all done
now if we go back into our web site we
were currently running three point five
six I think it was something about 5'4
and we're upgrading to three point six
so we need to check that that's work so
what I'm going to do is go into
appearance and themes
okay hey I'm gonna see the two free
clicks here one is the old one which is
this one
oh no that's the D one version three
point six this is the old on three point
five four
so but we're running four point six
because that's the one that's called
four three clicks so let's just double
check that the front of the site is okay
and it all looks fine okay so there's a
couple of plugins that it's saying that
we need to update as well the page
builder and slider revolution
so in order to do that if we go into
plugins well G one page book there and
slider or evolution there okay so let's
do a revolution slider first so if you
go to revolution slider down here and
then scroll down to the bottom of this
page there's a button here says manual
plug-in update now within the a zip file
that we extracted the free clicks one
that we just got from the themeforest if
we have a look within the free clicks
folder there's a plugins folder and in
here we'll find the Rev slide so if we
just select that click update slider
that gives us the latest version of
revolution slider so the last one we
need to do is that you want a folder but
the easiest way to do that is going to
plugins and find the few on page builder
it's there let's deactivate it and
delete it
and it's gone now we can click beginners
tool and plug-in click install and we're
all done okay so I think we're all up to
date there's also a few other updates
here in terms of some other plugins that
you may be running as I say there was
quite a few updates there due to a
security flaw or vulnerability that was
detected so I would recommend you update
everything that you can and you should
be fine now the last thing we need to do
is just we might as well delete that the
old theme as everything seems to be
working fine so the best way to do that
is by FTP probably so let's get back
into our fetch all the dues I'm just
gonna select that old one that I renamed
and I'm just gonna delete it
so that's deleted so now let's just
double check out things okay back on the
website I'm going to go back to
appearance and themes so yeah we've just
got the two themes in here which is
perfect and click on theme details we
see we're on 3.6 so we're all done let's
just double check the front is all okay
and I'm sure it will be I hope you found
this video useful and good luck updating
your theme and say isn't essential that
you do it because there's a security
vulnerability in the older versions if
you get stuck wherever any questions and
please leave a comment below or get in
touch with me via my website which is at
WP Eagle comm and I will see you soon
