Hello, I want to update to version 4.9.1. Right now I’m using version 4.1. Do I lose anything when I update to the latest version?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Innovata,
Thanks for your query.
You may take a look at the steps illustrated in the link below to update your theme successfully without losing any configurations.
https://help.truethemes.net/knowledge-base/how-do-i-update-my-theme-to-the-latest-version/Please also ensure that you have the child theme for the Karma Theme currently installed and activated as this will automatically inherit the configurations from the parent theme.
Please download the latest version of the Child Theme from your Envato Account in the Downloads section using the “All files and Documentation” option from the Downloads dropdown options as illustrated in the link below.

I’m interested in your theme, I think it’s an amazing job. I use this fantastic plugin https://codecanyon.net/item/formeditor-pro-wordpress-form-builder/20095603?s_rank=1 and would like to know if it will work for your theme.
Hi JInglo,
Thanks for your query and interest in using the Karma Theme.
I have not had the chance to test this plugin with the Karma Theme but if this plugin is coded using WordPress standards then it should work nicely with the Karma Theme.
The Karma Theme comes with a built in form builder but I would suggest that you disable it by going to Appearance>Site Options>Forms from your WordPress Dashboard if you plan on using this plugin to avoid any possible conflicts.
Please let me know if there are any more questions I may answer for you
Thanks
Hi – is it possible to increase the number of images in a lightbox gallery? Right now it’s set at 5. I have found a link here (your website) that would explain adding more images to a gallery but the link is broken.
Hi – you can ignore my previous post as it was just a case of editing the following files: 1. custom-metaboxes.php 2. Filterable Gallery Page Template.php I can now add as many images to the gallery as I like Thanks anyway and keep up the good work it’s an awesome theme.
Hi jfj747,
I am happy to hear that you were able to accomplish this request.
Cheers!
We purchased this theme from you some time ago and we are at version 3.0.3. Can we simply upgrade it to the latest version or would you expect we would have problems with such a jump?
Hi LeatherwingStudios,
Thanks for your query.
Unfortunately, this is a huge update step and there are a few things to take into consideration when updating the theme.
The Karma Theme got some pretty major overhauls in versions 4.0 and above…..we did our best to ensure 100% seamless backward-compatibility but certain scenarios were inevitably hard to cater for.
The Sliders got an overhaul in 4.0 which enables a user to add a Slider to any page template, thus removing the need for specific “jQuery Slider page templates”. To resolve this issue if you have used these page templates you will need to “re-activate” those old templates using a simple checkbox in Karma Site Options Panel: Appearance > Site Options > Karma v3
Activate the first checkbox on that page and Save Changes You’ll then likely need to simply re-edit the homepage and you’ll now see the “jQuery Slider” page template from the drop-down list. For newly created slider pages you can utilise the new way of adding sliders which is outlined in the “Karma jQuery Sliders” video on this page: https://vimeopro.com/truethemes/karma-4/page/2
Here is a link to how you may update the theme
https://help.truethemes.net/knowledge-base/how-do-i-update-my-theme-to-the-latest-version/If you are using a child theme, the Karma Theme 4.8.8 through to Karma 4.9.1 requires the child theme to be updated to the latest version, Karma Child version 1.1 in order for the theme to function accordingly.
Please download the latest version of the Child Theme from your Envato Account in the Downloads section using the “All files and Documentation” option from the Downloads dropdown options as illustrated in the link below.
http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/2189051/035b8a4fbd600207c122e6b3f5537d0eIf you have entered custom styling to the child theme, please copy them to a temporary notepad or similar and then update the child theme files.
After you have updated the child theme files, you may then re-add your custom styling as required.
PLEASE NOTE: It is recommended that you conduct a backup of your website in the event you need to rollback to this previous version in the event of any unwanted changes.
We recommend using the All In One WP Migration plugin which is available from the plugins repository from your WordPress Dashboard.
Once installed please navigate to All In One WP Migration>Export, Click on the Menu Burger Icon to reveal the dropdown and then click on File.
The backup process will begin automatically
Cheers
Thank you so much for your detailed response!
Just a quick follow up. We did the update and found that the problem we were having with a plugin is still there. We had already narrowed it down to Karma by removing all plugins but I was hopeful that the newer version of Karma would work with this plugin but it does not. When we changed the theme to anything other than Karma the plugin works again.
In case you are interested the plugin is Map List Pro from Code Canyon (https://codecanyon.net/item/map-list-pro-google-maps-location-directories/2620196) and the errors seem to be related to the editor which, when used with Karma, fails to completely load, won’t allow switching between Visual and Text, etc.
If we use this plugin I guess we will have to change to a theme other than Karma. Thanks again for your help.
Hi LeatherwingStudios,
Thanks for your reply.
I am sorry to hear that there are experiencing compatibility issues with the Karma Theme and this plugin.
I will refer this over to the development team to see if there is a chance for compatibility in future versions of the Karma Theme.
Please let me know if there are any more questions that I can answer for you.
