NexaAqiqah Update#

Before updating#

1. Full backup — theme files and database. Homepage Builder, Theme Settings, packages, articles, testimonials, and gallery items all live in standard WordPress database tables, so a database backup is the key step.
2. Export settings — in NexaAqiqah > Settings, use the Transfer Settings feature to download a JSON file. It can be re-imported if needed.
3. Note customizations — direct edits to theme files will be overwritten. Use a child theme for persistent changes, or keep extra CSS in Settings > Integrations > Custom CSS, which survives updates.

Update steps#

1. Download the latest nexaaqiqah-themes.zip.
2. In Appearance > Themes, switch to another theme and delete the old version, or upload the new zip to replace it (via the Replace current with uploaded flow when your host offers it).
3. Reactivate NexaAqiqah. Settings and content remain intact because they are stored in the database.
4. Reload the homepage and dashboard to confirm everything works.

After updating#

• If you replaced branding image files and the display did not change, bump the theme version — the theme uses file modification times as CSS/JS versions, so it usually refreshes automatically.
• If images were replaced directly on attachment files, run a regenerate thumbnails tool so derived sizes are rebuilt.
• Check Settings and Homepage Builder — old data structures stay supported: sections without new settings fall back to safe defaults.

Rolling back#

If the new version misbehaves: restore the previous theme files (your earlier zip), then import the settings JSON from the export step. Content does not need restoring because theme updates never touch posts.
