How to Update from 1.9.9.1 to 2.0

[lilyakpuaka]

Hi Mr Vibe, Stuck, pls help - I run the default theme version 1.9.9.1 and want to update to 2.0 but the theme page in wordpress says the theme is up to date (no links to an updated version though there is 2.0 out there)! Same time the WP updates dashboard keeps prompting me to update to a latest version of wplms - should I update to the modern theme first? And does that mean I will loose all the CSS and other customization on the site? or do I download 2.0 and update manually using FTP ?   Please help!

Well upgrading from 1.9.x you need to upgrade everything, no particular order. a. Have you done any CSS or code customisation directly in the Modern theme style.css file . IF yes then make a backup of these files. b. Now upload the modern theme and follow this tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zSn_3JSrYs
