1. Create a Staging Website

The safest way to upgrade is to create a staging copy of your current site. There are several ways to create a staging site, including the following methods:

Using WP Toolkit

This free and straightforward method allows you to quickly create a staging site by cloning your existing WordPress installation. WP Toolkit manages the process, including copying files and the database, to set up a separate staging environment in few seconds.

  1. Log in to cPanel and open WP Toolkit.

  2. Select the WordPress installation you want to create a staging site for.

  3. In the Dashboard tab click Clone link right below the tabs.

  4. Clone the site in staging subdomain.

2. Migrate to Kalim 4

Migrating from Kalium 3 to Kalium 4 is designed to be as smooth and straightforward as possible, there are two methods of migrating and updating to Kalium 4: automatic and manual migration.

Automatic Migration provides a streamlined process directly within your WordPress dashboard. This method is ideal if you prefer a hassle-free upgrade experience. By following the step-by-step instructions, you can transfer your license and update your theme with just a few clicks.

On the other hand, Manual Migration offers a more hands-on approach for those who may need or prefer to handle the upgrade process manually. This method involves several steps, including transferring your license and updating the theme manually.

After transferring your license, you will receive an additional 3 months of support.

  • If your support subscription is inactive, this will give you 3 months of support and updates.

  • If you have an active support subscription, it will be extended by 3 months. For example, if your support ends on January 1, 2025, it will now end on April 1, 2025.

Important: Only users who purchased Kalium from ThemeForest before October 1, 2024, are eligible to receive an extra 3 months of free support and updates when transferring their license to Kalium 4.

After your 3 months of support expire, you can choose to renew your license to continue receiving future updates and support. It’s important to note that renewing your license is not required for your website to continue functioning. Websites built with Kalium will remain fully operational without any issues. However, renewing your license is recommended to maintain access to updates, starter sites, and dedicated support. Without renewal, you may miss out on these benefits, but your website itself will continue to operate smoothly.
