Hello,
I bought the theme prior to it having the page builder capabilities. I'm sorry if this is an obvious question, but how do I upgrade my theme to have the page builder? Is there an option to do so?
Thanks!
Noelle
I read that you need to download the new theme, and then delet the old one. But how do I download the new updated theme? I bought mine fro Themeforest.com. Do I have to purchase the theme again?
Hey Noelle, to download the latest version of the Salient theme, go to the Downloads page on ThemeForest and download the theme again, which you won't be charged for.
Then, in the WP dashboard, activate another theme (eg. Twenty Fourteen) and then you can delete the old Salient theme. Next you can go and upload the new theme and then go ahead and activate it!
You can update your theme by downloading a fresh copy from ThemeForest, deleting the current version you have on your server and uploading the new.
It's recommended that you use FTP, but this also can be done with the WP dashboard if you prefer. The reason FTP is superior for this is because the theme won't have to be deactivated during the process so you won't have to reassign your widgets. If you're
interested in keeping up to date with the latest changes and fixes, please refer to the changelog: http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html
Also, remember to clear your browser cache after each update if you notice anything off. Old theme files can persist in your local cache and make you think something's wrong.

Thank you!
Doing this will save all of the settings? No other actions are needed?
