I am using 3.0+ (Build: 20151126) with Essential Theme. For a while I have been getting warnings that my theme version is not designed for my Moodle version.
Is the Latest Essential version now compatible with Moodle 3. It seems to be but I'd like to be clear. Finally, if I install the latest version of Essential will I lose my customisations. What steps do I take to avoid this.
Moving to Themes forum...
Hi,
If you navigate to Administration > Site Administration > Notifications there should be a link that takes you to a page where it lists all the plugins that are available for you to upgrade to. If Essential is there then that is the cleanest and safest way to upgrade as it is done automatically in Moodle. This way all your current settings will be intact.
Hope this helps?
Mary
Gareth has released a version for Moodle3
https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=theme_essential
Use the link Mary suggested to upgrade it, or use github/download and copy manually as preferred, but if you upgrade Essential to the latest version that will remove the version warning. Or, if in doubt, use the link Gareth has in the readme file for Essential as there are upgrading instructions on that page.
sorry to be a pain but where is the link "Mary suggested"
sorry - I wan't looking at the Forum in a way that showed that Mary had answered earlier. Now I see it.
Quick reply:
Hi Steve,
I hope you have managed to upgrade your theme now?
Cheers
Mary
