Upgrading Mandigo
Upgrading Mandigo is generally only a matter of uploading the new files, overwriting the existing ones.
- If you haven't made any modification to the PHP files, and if you haven't overwritten any of the standard images, all you have to do is upload the new files. The settings made on the Theme Options page will remain untouched.
- If you only have uploaded your own header images to the images/headers/ folder, there is nothing to worry about: since these files do not exist in the theme zip file, they will not be overwritten when you upload the update.
- If you have modified a scheme file, be it the CSS file or some images, you can simply upload the new theme files, except those you have edited. On a side note, the best way to customize a scheme is to create your own.
- If you did modify some PHP files, you will have to reapply the same modifications to new theme files. Please note that most modifications, such as including some javascript or some style rules can be done using the HTML Inserts feature (see the tab next to "Theme Options" in your WP dashboard).
Remember it's always a good thing to backup your files prior to updating. Even if you don't remember changing a file, just download the full theme folder from your hosting account to your computer. It only takes a few seconds and you can't be too cautious!
This is the perfect way to break down this ifonmration.
Upgrading from a pre-1.33 version
Some classes and tags have changed in 1.33 so if you have created or customized your own scheme, you will need to change some CSS selectors:
| old | new |
| .calborder | .datestamp |
| .cal | .datestamp div |
Upgrading from a pre-1.26 version
If you are upgrading from a previous version and you had made modifications to either a scheme stylesheet (eg. blue.css) or you had overwritten some of the default images, make sure you move these files to new appropriate directories. My advice would be to create a new scheme, even if yours is only slightly different from the default one, as this will make future upgrades even easier.
Once your blog/site looks the same as it used to, we can safely delete these files/dirs:
- stylesheets: blue.css, green.css, orange.css, pink.css, purple.css, read.css, teal.css
- thumbnails: scheme-*.jpg
- images sub-directories: images/blue/, images/green/, images/orange/, images/pink/, images/purple/, images/red/, images/teal/
