Updating theme from first version to latest

[tengoinvitacion]

I’m working a new project, it’s a wordpress site with your theme installed. I just bought the theme to update it and that is what happened:

The theme is “Haswell Child V1.0.1”, as i see it is the first version of your theme.
The website was not update since 2014-2015 and now it’s my job to do.

I’m not familiar with child themes so i’m not sure if i can update the theme as it is explained on your documentation.
Anyway the folder names are different, the old haswell theme is called “wp_haswell” and the new one is just “haswell”.

Can you give any advise to update the theme and the childtheme?

Hello! I did it but as soon as the lastest version of Hasswell parent folder name is “haswell”, and the old one is called “wp_haswell” there is a conflict.

I tried to rename the new version from “haswell” to “wp_haswell” and i can see the site with some errors but i can not access the backend.

Any idea?

Thank you.

Solved, the problem was with cmssuperheroes plugin (removed).
Also needed to update/install manually the plugins jscomposer and ef3framework.

Not easy at all but finally worked.

Thank you Maria for your advise, it gave me other point of view.
