Theme Requirements
To use Lezada, you must be running WordPress 4.0 or higher, PHP 5.6 or higher, and MySQL 5 or higher. We have tested it with Mac, Windows and Linux. Below is a list of items you should ensure your host can comply with.
Check to ensure that your web host has the minimum requirements to run WordPress.
Always make sure they are running the latest version of WordPress.
You can download the latest release of WordPress from official WordPress website.
Always create secure passwords for FTP and Database.
Hosting is more secure when PHP applications, like WordPress, are running using your account’s username instead of the server’s default shared username (www or www-data). The most common way for hosting companies to do this is using PHP. Just ask your potential host if they run PHP or something similar.
Recommended PHP Configuration Limits
Many issues that you may run into such as: white screen, demo content fails when importing, empty page content and other similar issues are all related to low PHP configuration limits. The solution is to increase the PHP limits. You can do this on your own, or contact your web host and ask them to increase those limits to a minimum as follows:
Max_execution_time 180
Memory_limit 128M
Post_max_size 32M
Upload_max_filesize 32M

Update
Before Updating
1. It Is Always Recommended To Backup Your Current Setup
We recommend you have a current backup of your site. Simply go to Theme Options >> Import / Export and export your backup.
2. Do Not Keep Older Copies of The Theme In WP Theme Folder
You should completely remove all previous theme folders before adding the new updated theme folder. Don't just rename the theme folder. If you rename your theme folder when you update, then the path will be no longer valid. Because WordPress stores menus and widget settings and some other settings by folder path, you will need to rename your theme folder back to what it was before, then your settings, menus, widgets will be restored. So the total renaming process has no meaning.
3. Reset Browser Cache, Server Cache And Plugin Cache
It is always recommended to reset your browser, plugin, and server cache when you update. Visual issues may happen and more often than not, its caused by caches, and they need to be emptied. Each browser allows you to remove cookies, history and other data. If your theme or ThemeMove Core version is not updated after uploading the new files, it is due to a server-side caching system. Some hosting providers have server-side cache systems installed to optimize the speed of content delivery, please clear any server-side cache or ask your host to do it. This is also true for google pagespeed setups or cloudflare setups.
4. Update Child Theme
If you have copied template files from parent theme to child theme, please make sure to revert to parent theme first to confirm if the issue exists there too. If it doesn’t, please update the templates copied to child theme with the parent theme.
5. Required & Recommended Plugins Must Be Updated
When you update the theme, you will see a notification message in your admin telling you the required and recommended plugins need to be updated. Follow the onscreen prompts to install the plugin updates. We have listed some required plugins and they have to be installed and activated for theme features to work. Make sure you are always using the most recent version of these plugins. You will be prompted to install it upon installing or updating your theme. If you dismiss the prompt or do not see it, then you can go to Plugins >> Installed Plugins >> Update Available (if have) and update the plugins there.
Update Theme
Firstly, you need to download the new theme package from your Themeforest account. Once you have the new theme package, you can choose to upload the theme via WordPress or via FTP.
1. Update theme via FTP
Step 1 – If you have downloaded Installable WordPress file only, please unzip the lezada.zip file. If you have downloaded the All file & documentation package, please unzip the lezada.zip file and then unzip the secondary lezada.zip file which will give a Lezada folder.
Step 2 – Connect to your FTP.
Step 3 – Upload the extracted Lezada folder to: wp-content/themes/. Just replace existing files and folders.
Step 4 – Lastly, update the included plugins. You will see a notification message letting you know the plugins have a new version and need to be updated.
2. Update theme via WordPress
Step 1 – You need to deactivate the current Lezada theme in Appearance > Themes section by simply activating a different theme. Once you activate a different theme, you can delete the Lezada.
Step 2 – Retrieve the tm_lezada.zip file from your new Themeforest download. If you download All files & documentation, then you need to unzip the archive file you received, the tm_lezada.zip file will be inside of it.
Step 3 – Then simply upload and activate the lezada file in the Appearance > Themes section like you've done when installing theme.
3. Update theme using Envato Toolkit
Step 1 – You need to generate an API key to link your WordPress site to your ThemeForest account. Login to ThemeForest, go to your dashboard and click on “Settings.” The API Keys screen allows you to generate a free API key.
Step 2 – Download Envato ToolKit, install and activate this plugin. A new menu item, “Envato Toolkit”, will appear in the admin sidebar. Click on the sidebar link and enter your marketplace username and secret API key. Click “Save Settings.” All of your theme purchases will now appear on this page after it refreshes.
Step 3 – The plugin will now alert you to theme updates – so long as you check the toolkit settings regularly. Click on install automatically beside each of your themes to automatically update them. The toolkit settings page also allows you to install themes that you haven’t already uploaded to your site, delete ones you don’t use and view version details. You can also set up theme backups.
Important! Always Use a Child Theme. Updating your themes shouldn’t affect any customization to your website as long as you’re using a child theme.
