NexaPetshop Update#

Before updating#

1. Full backup — theme files and the database. Theme Settings, the Homepage Builder, services, posts, and the gallery all live in standard WordPress tables, so a database backup is the key artifact.
2. Export settings — under NexaPetshop > Theme Settings, use the Import/Export Settings tab to download the settings JSON.
3. Note customizations — direct file edits are overwritten. Use a child theme for lasting changes, or keep extra CSS under Custom Code & Integrations > Custom CSS.

Update steps#

Automatic (recommended): with an active license under NexaPetshop > Activation, updates appear under Dashboard > Updates like any theme. Packages are downloaded only from the official host and verified by digital signature + SHA-256 checksum before installation; packages failing verification are rejected.

Manual: download the latest nexapetshop-themes.zip and re-upload via Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme (or your host's Replace current with uploaded feature).

After updating#

• Reload the homepage and dashboard to confirm everything renders.
• If the service archive 404s, re-save Settings > Permalinks.
• Check Theme Settings and Homepage Builder — old data structures stay supported: new fields fall back to safe defaults.

Rolling back#

Re-activate the previous theme ZIP, then import the settings JSON from the export step. Content does not need restoring because theme updates never touch content.
