1. Before updating your theme
Be sure you are running the latest version of WordPress.
It is also a good idea to make sure you have a backup of your site. To learn more about backing up your WordPress website please see the Codex here: WordPress Backups Codex
– If you have adding custom css on the “Appearance >> Customize >> Custom CSS“, please backup before update
2. Uploading the new version
Download latest version
You can download the latest version of your theme in your Member Area dashboard, unpacks the zip file in a temp directory.
Upload your theme
The easiest way to manually update your theme is using Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades

3. Reapply your customizations
If you have made modifications to your theme files (for example your Custom CSS), you need to reapply them to the new version. We recommend using a child theme to avoid this step. If you are an advanced user, you can see the changelog.txt above or in the theme folder to only update the updated files via FTP.
We continue improving it and bug fixes, so that it works better with all sites.
