What's going wrong
Site owners report that after moving this WordPress theme to a newer version, or after a WordPress or PHP upgrade, the homepage slider, menu, or start page layout disappears. Some find the site throws fatal errors, while others see a stray clickable area left behind. Child theme users say a parent theme update breaks their site every time. Owners cannot tell whether the theme, a child theme, or the host caused the problem, and they lack a safe way to test an update first. This points to an opening for a staging-and-update service that tests theme upgrades on a copy of the site, reports what changed, and rolls back if the layout breaks.
