What Happens When I Update Themes in WordPress?

When you update the themes in WordPress, you might be wondering what happens to your customizations. In most cases, your customizations will remain intact, but there are a few caveats you should know about.

First and foremost, if you have any custom styles defined in your theme’s style.css file, you’ll need to update them if you want them to take effect after an update. Second, if you’ve made any modifications to the WordPress core files (wp-config.php, for example), you’ll need to make sure they’re updated as well in order for your changes to take effect.

Finally, any customizations made to the theme’s functions.php file will not be overwritten by an update, but they may not work if the theme’s code has been modified since you made them.

All in all, it’s usually a good idea to check the theme’s documentation for specific information about what will and will not be affected by an update. But in the event that you run into any trouble, be sure to reach out to the theme’s developer for help. After all, it’s their job to make sure your theme is running smoothly!.
