Restore #

Navigate to All-in-one WP Migration > Import. Then, drag and drop the backup file to upload it.

That's it!

1. DO NOT update the WordPress and PHP to their latest versions.
2. Make a full backup.
3. Delete the Impreza theme (we recommend to delete the Impreza folder via FTP).
4. Install the Impreza version 2.0.2 via the ZIP provided by our support team.
5. Go to the "Appearance > Themes" admin page and ensure that the Impreza theme is active, not a child theme.

AFTER installing the Impreza version 2.0.2: #

1. Check if your website works fine right after the update. If it has major issues and is the production environment website, restore your website backup and read the blue box below.
2. If everything works fine, make the full site backup (if you did not before the update).
3. Deactivate ALL plugins.
4. Delete the WPBakery Page Builder (formerly Visual Composer) plugin. You can install its latest version later.
5. Delete the Header Builder plugin. It will be replaced by the UpSolution Core plugin later.
6. Start the migration process via the big red message box in your WP admin dashboard. This process will change all shortcode parameters and values to be compatible with the new options.
7. If everything works fine, continue further. Install and activate the Force Regenerate Thumbnails plugin (screenshot), then go to Tools > Force Regenerate Thumbnails and click the button (screenshot). It will regenerate thumbnails of all uploaded images and delete the extra ones.
8. If you use any caching plugins or CDN, purge all the website cache.
9. Check your website once again. Everything apart from image sizes should be just fine. If it has major issues and is the production environment website, restore the backup and roll back to Impreza 1.11.2 using the corresponding section below.

When you complete the steps above, ensure all your site pages are displayed correctly and working as in the previous Impreza version. In case of issues, restore the backup and downgrade Impreza to the previous version 1.11.2. Most likely, the issue is due to some custom modifications on your site that are incompatible with the new version. In this case, read the further instructions.

If you have some custom modifications (using a child theme or Quick CSS), do the following: #

1. Clone your live site using some "duplicator" plugin and create its duplicate at your local environment OR a separate domain or subdomain (example: dev.your-site.com).
2. Rename the old theme folder and install Impreza 2.0.
3. Follow all the steps regarding the update to version 2.0 described above.
4. If you have some CSS modifications provided by our Support Team that are not working, please create a ticket describing the issue. We will help with providing the correct CSS code.
5. Analyze every modification in your child theme: find theme files that modifications might overload, compare new and old versions of this file, and try to fix it. You can create a private ticket with the issue description in that case. Our support team will review modifications and help you figure out possible solutions. Please note that fixing custom modifications is beyond the support scope.
6. When all the customizations start working as expected - migrate your site to a main live version.

If you don’t want to spend time fixing customizations for Impreza 2.0 (or there are no features essential for you), you do not have to update. At the same time, please note: we won't provide support to old Impreza versions (1.11.2 and previous), and the 1x versions won't be updated separately. So it's better to migrate, and we'll be glad to help with what we can so you can do it the easiest way!

1. Make a full backup.
2. Deactivate ALL plugins.
3. Update the WordPress to the latest version.
4. Activate the Impreza theme itself, not a child theme.
5. Update the theme to the latest version.
6. Activate the UpSolution Core plugin and update it to the latest version.
7. Process the content update via the yellow notification box.
8. Check your site.
9. Update and activate the needed plugins again.

If you notice issues during the process, please create a support ticket.

Frequently Asked Questions #

1. Can you exchange my Corsa theme with Impreza with a surcharge? #

No, it's not possible. You need to purchase the Impreza theme separately at ThemeForest.

2. Can you guarantee that my website won't break after migration? #

We can't. That's why creating a backup BEFORE migration is so important. Also, it's better to test migration before running it on the production website. You can do it on a website's copy on a separate WordPress installation. The Migrator plugin and migration process were tested many times with real Corsa websites. Everything should work correctly unless you use some complex customizations.

3. Can you help me with migration from my website to Impreza? #

We described the whole process in our Migration Guide. It's pretty simple: do it step-by-step as described there. If you have some related issues, you can create a support ticket.

4. Can I get a refund (money back) for the Corsa theme after migration? #

Unfortunately, no. ThemeForest unable to process refunds for themes where the date of purchase is older than 180 days.
