[asharamseervi]

Hello Mr. Vibe, As WPLMS is developing in full pace, frequent updates are there to enhance WPLMS in all manner. Query is easy but will helpful to others as well.

1. Using WPLMS 2.5.2 currently. Using Blank Child theme also, keeping mind in frequent updates.

2. While configuring WPLMS, after successfully installations & all updates, without any customization, installed WPLMS blank child.

3. Now, Question is: As of now, 2.6.1 is here, I want to update without loosing any configuration, without any loosing single data. The best possible way to update parent theme with WPLMS is? 

and one more thing, There is envato plugin which helps to update theme. Also brief, Best way is manual or this envato plugin,(not in terms of easiness, i want data security first & deface{of website}-proof.) also brief, if new plugins & features there, is there any negative  possibility while updating?

Well with each wplms update we try to add some new features and ofcourse bug fixes . It is safe to update your wplms theme if you have done all your customization using child theme and has not edited any of the wplms theme and its plugins files . So please refer : https://wplms.io/support/knowledge-base/auto-updating-wplms/ To find buyer api key  : https://wplms.io/support/knowledge-base/how-to-find-buyer-api-key-in-themeforest/ if above does not works : https://wplms.io/support/knowledge-base/manually-updating-wplms/ PS : to be on safer side I would recommend you to take backup first .

hahaha, parent theme is now easy to update. What about is child theme have updates? Share your answer to update child theme as well, having many many configurations. Because, some child themes updates released in WPLMS 2.6.1

Well if you have customized a template file such as header.php using child theme and if in later updates of wplms we make changes its architecture then you may need to update child theme . in that case you have to note down your customization so that you can apply them again after updating child themes , But this is very rare case . We also share a change log tip if such case appears just like we did this time so that user can make changes in their child themes  also .
