    Updating from version 2.83 to 3.05. In addition to the content boxes not displaying images, I have lost all testimonials, the header widgets no longer display, colors have changed.

    Is there something wrong with this update? Need to update to be complient to PHP 8.0. This is happening on 4 of my websites that I use Evolve and will require many hours to get the sites back to usable sites.

    Hello. Sorry for the issues you are experiencing. I will explain: version 2.9.1, rolled out on 11.12.2018, introduced some breaking changes. The theme was completely rewritten, and a mechanism was established to help clients migrate to the new version. But now, 5.5 years later, this mechanism is not compatible anymore and doesn’t do its job. This update is technically as if you (almost) moved to another theme. We cannot assist you with the issues. The only thing you can do is restore your backup, create a staging environment, update the website there and rebuild everything that needs to be rebuilt. And then roll the new websites out. I’m afraid there’s no other way. Always updating the themes when a new version is out is important. This is how these situations can be avoided.
