4. Download the default.pot file and open it with POEDIT.

There are 3 methods to update WordPress themes to the newer version. These new updates are essential if you want to have a bug-free website as we give new features and improvements to the theme over time. Some of these updates might be needed to make the theme compatible with WordPress’s newer versions. There is no risk of losing your settings and pages.

However if you had done modifications in parent theme files, then they will be lost. We recommend you to do all your modifications using the Child theme of Banca (the child theme included with the theme package).
