I was using the free version of this theme, I just purchased Pro. How do I install the Pro version with my current customization intact from the free version? Should I use the theme updater from Catch and select “Update existing ” theme option?

I await any replies

@ram130: All your customization made in the customizer will be retained when you upgrade to pro. You will need to copy just the additional CSS in the customizer from free to the pro version. However if you have made any changes to core theme files directly without creating a child theme those changes will get lost after upgrade.
You can follow this tutorial to upgrade to pro version of the theme.

Let me know if you are still having issues upgrading to pro.

Thanks, thought the tutorial doesn’t mention how to copy the additional css files. I had activated the updating catch updater, if I use that, will it will just overwrite my current free theme with the pro version and keep the current customizations?

@ram130: Yes, it should overwrite your current theme with the pro version and keep the current customizations. But just to be on the safe side When you upload the theme you will see More Options, under that make sure you keep Create Backup to Yes.
The backup of your current theme will be stored in the Media files tab.

Let me know if this helps you out!
Kind Regards,

Thanks, it still didn’t copy over my customizations from the free version, what files should I copy over?

@ram130: There seems to be an issue with the customization taking over from to the pro version. This issue will be fixed soon in the next update. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Kind Regards,
