Backup Information

However, if you’re experiencing problems while attempting to upgrade, it’s likely to be a permissions issue and you may want to manually backup your theme before upgrading. Alternatively, if you don’t want to backup your theme you can check the box below.nnSkip Theme Backup: Strongly recommended keep unchecked.n

Alternative Way

nYou can also update the theme by replacing the old theme folder. First go to your theme directory then delete the theme folder and paste the new version of the theme.
