If you prefer the support team to handle the template installation, please get in touch using the contact form on the support page, providing your website access and including notes about the new installation.
Please note that a new installation by the Matrix Support Team incurs an additional cost.
- The new installation will overwrite all previously installed files, but your content will remain unchanged. All pages, images, text, and custom widgets will be the same and you will not lose any of your content.
- Some of your widgets may stop working correctly (e.g. sliders, parallax, etc.) due to updates or replacements of plugins and custom elements with the latest versions.
- All custom code placed in the "Edit Head" section and custom JavaScript files not included in the default Matrix template should be removed before the new installation. I recommend saving all those files on your computer before the new installation.
- Some templates may have undergone significant design changes in recent years. You can view the current template designs at the following page: https://www.matrix-framework.com/templates/
- If you are using a template that no longer exists, you can install any other template available at https://www.matrix-framework.com/templates/
- Please note that it will not be possible to revert back to the previous version after the new installation.
