Hello,
A couple of years back we worked with a local (to us) marketing company that help us set up a website for our company. The marketing company itself bought a license for the specular theme and than we them paid them for it. The marketing company we worked with have now changed direction and cannot help us with our website.
We need to do some updates to our website as we have moved the server it is hosted on and we have encountered some errors during the import on to the new server. We would like to just handle this ourselves.
We have now purchased our own license for specular, but I was wondering how we can update the license information in WordPress so that we can update our theme.
Any guidance or help would be appreciated.

Hello,
By buying a license of theme, you have access to 6 months free support and lifetime access to theme updates. Go to your Envato account > Download to download any time the latest version available of theme.
All included plugins get updated as well so keep in mind to update them too.
-After server transfer make sure to have changed successfully all urls in order for the settings to show up properly. Keep in mind that options and settings are all stored in the database.
Best regards!

Hi Mirela,
We have already transferred over our site to the new server. The site is up and functioning but we have some php errors that I think are related to the slider.
If I download the latest version and then upload it, will I lose the current theme settings and content we have created? Or are those saved in the database?
What we really want to do is just update the specular theme and slider plugin but we obviously can’t do that as our license shows as expired as it’s not setup as the new license we just purchased.
Thanks for your help.

Hello,

No, you wont. Yes, they are stored in the database.2-“What we really want to do is just update the specular theme and slider plugin but we obviously can’t do that as our license shows as expired as it’s not setup as the new license we just purchased.”
You license is only to register to support and have access to theme updates. You don’t have to register theme in theme options.
All included plugins have extended licenses. So you don’t have to activate them either. Read these articles for more details:
