Now if you have made any code changes, you will lose them, unless you create a child theme and copy over the files you have edited there. This will allow your changes to survive future theme updates. If you directly edit the theme’s files, all changes will be lost once you update.
How do I install the update? Simply over the existing files? Will the update affect my design? thanks for your help!
