Update theme via WP Admin
-
I am confused about the instructions provided in the documentation for my theme, AIT Directory Portal, regarding updating manually via WP Admin.
The instructions read:
“1. Deactivate currently used theme – activate another theme, for example one of default WordPress themes.”
“2. Delete theme which you are going to update. Open theme Details and click Delete button.”
My confusion: My currently used theme is an older version of the AIT Directory Portal. If I deactivate and delete my theme, will I lose all information contained on my website which I built with that theme? Or will that information reappear once I upload the updated theme via the next instructions:
“3. Click Add New, on the next screen click Upload Theme button and browse for downloaded zip file with theme. Click Install Now.
4. Theme is successfully installed, click on Activate.”Thanks for any help,

We do not provide support for WordPress.ORG software installs.As that site is not hosted here at WordPress.COM, our support docs are not relevant, and you are posting to the wrong support forum.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.
