    Hi a client of mine let their site go and hasn't run any updates for a while.


    Is it safe for me to update directly from 10.5.3 to the latest version along with all the updates saleint plugins?

    Hey Again,

    10.5.3 should not cause any major issue.

    Please update to the Latest Salient Theme Version.

    The current version of the theme is 12.1.3 and the current version of the page builder is 6.4.1. Salient versions older than v11 won't be compatible with WordPress 5.5.

    Here's the documentation on the available methods for updating Salient: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/#methods Once, you've updated that, the update for the included page builder will become available. Note that "Visual Compser" also renamed their plugin on Envato to "WPbakery page builder" a couple of years back.

    Here's an update guide on what to expect when jumping many major releases at once: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/important-salient-update-for-new-envato-requirements/ take a read through before the update as many things have changed.

    To get a list of Bug Fixes and new Feature addons in the Latest Theme updates view changelog here: http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html .

    Best.

    Salient 9 should be fairly safe as well.

    Be sure to take a Backup first before updating though.

    What about 7.5????

    All the recent Salient Versions are backwards compatible, so there should be no major issues with 7.5 either.

    Thanks
