Updating our out-of-date theme
-
Hello!
We are currently running a theme that is out of date. we are being asked to update our theme (Twenty Fifteen 1.0). However, the 2.0 version looks a lot different. If we were to update, will wordpress transfer all the information into the new version? If so, will this be a timely operation? If not, will we have to manually reconfigure our website with all of our current information?

If you let us know what site you are wanting to make the change on we can get you a bit more detailed information.
In general, updating a theme won’t change your content. You can read more about what happens when you switch themes on sites hosted here at WordPress.com, including a video tutorial showing the process here:

If your site is running on a web host other than WordPress.com (what we call self-hosted), you may want to take a look at the WordPress.org support forums, as they are focused on supporting self-hosted sites.
If you aren’t sure which yours is, we can check if we know the site address. You can also read more about the differences between WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress.org sites this article may be helpful:

I accidentally left out the link for the WordPress.org support forums. :)
