Updating Moove theme plugin option not available

I currently have the Moove 3.9.08 plugin installed on my Moodle 3.9.7 version.

I noticed Moove has a 3.11 version availalble, but when I go to site administration>plugins overview>check for available updates, the update option is not there?


Side note: I'm not a software developer and don't know how to go into my Moodle files, etc. 

Thanks!

Moove version 3.11.01 is for Moodle 3.11. It won't work with Moodle 3.9.

See the theme's versions page for information on which Moove version works with which Moodle version. Since Moove 3.9.08 is the latest version for Moodle 3.9 and you already have this no update option appears.

Thank you for the feedback. Yes, I realise Moove 3.11 won't work with Moodle 3.9. I guess it makes sense that the update option won't reflect in Moodle. 

My next problem is then this: If I first update to the latest Moodle - it breaks my theme and I can't update to latest Moove theme then. How do I go about updating both without causing havoc? In what order should I update and do I do it as normal?

If in doubt, switch back to the core Boost theme before you upgrade.

You'd be unlucky if the upgrade broke so badly that you couldn't use the site. But even then overriding the theme can be done by adding

$CFG->theme = 'boost';

...in your config.php file
