Is theme WP Opulus Pro 1.4.7 up to date and in working order?
-
I have had this theme for years and I am wondering if it is a problem or is up to date and compliant with what is needed today Sept 2019? I look forward to hearing from someone asap. Thanks, Susan

I’d recommend no longer using the theme.
It’s no longer in the official theme directory, and the most recent support thread for it is https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-this-theme-done/
So, going by both the content and date of that thread, the theme has been abandoned for at least “a few years” + 2 more years.

Thank you very much! I have had a website developer for years since I created the site in 2013 that I pay to update my theme monthly. I am disappointed that I was not informed of this sooner! Geez, it’s been years. I knew something was not right because my business really tailed off for some unknown reason. This is most likely it! Much appreciation. Btw, how does one know that a theme is no longer good to use? I can’t afford what is happening here to happen again. Thanks!

If you can no longer find it at https://wordpress.org/themes/ that’s generally a good sign to stop using it.
Mostly though, I recommend finding a new theme every 2 or 3 years, just because older themes (while still good) may never be updated for newer WordPress features … plus it’s fun to shake things up a bit. ;)

Any suggestions for a comparable new theme to make the transition more smooth or is it too outdated and I have to start over? Thank you!

You don’t really need to worry about transitioning much. Switching a theme is as simply as activating a new theme.
If anything, you may need to re-organize your widgets and menus, but that’s it. :)
There’s a Feature Filter in the directory which will help narrow down your choices. I recommend sticking to themes made this year, just for the sake of having a newer one to start (or re-start) with.

Oh ok, you make it sound so easy. That is reassuring.
So Feature Filter is specifically choices designed for me based on the existing theme I use? If so, cool and I will check out.
Thank you!

Not exactly. It will give you some features and styles to choose from, which will narrow down your options.

Ok, thanks. I have some work to do sorting through all of the themes. This is not my thing so it is hard to know what I truly need and which one to choose. This is why I need professional help. But I am having a hard time finding someone that charges an affordable rate. Thanks for all your help. Much appreciated.
