Dear all,

I’m new in doing a blog. We use ours as a press center for press releases. Currently we use 1.6.2. Should I update to 1.8.3?

Unfortunately it is said, that all our customizations will be gone. Is there a possibility to see the changes BEFORE I update so that I can redo it after the update?

The second thing, I tryed to use the Theme Location / Secondary menu. But if I do so, the is a black bar and one can’t see every categories.

Here you can see it:

before

after

Thank you very much for your help!

Moved to Support. Please post in the correct section next time.

The secondary menu is not designed to contained that many top-level menus. Group them into a more manageable number.

The only customisations that will be lost is the edits you made to the theme’s files. If you haven’t been editing the theme files, it should be safe to update.

Hi Syahir,

thank you for your reply! Is it possible to thee if there are changes in the theme’s file? The person how build this site is not any more in our team, so I don’t know about possible changes…

Thanks

There is, but it’s not straightforward. Might be easier to just make a backup of current theme, update, then see of anything is markedly different.
