How do I update my wordpress themes and PHP version for compatibility

Depending on what theme your wordpress site requires,
Download Lagunita theme from our repository: lagunita-theme.zip and save to your desktop to be used later.
Download Redwood theme from our repository: redwood-theme.zip and save to your desktop to be used later.

Before proceeding ahead, as a good practice, we recommend updating the themes and PHP version on a test site and once the testing is successful and the site preforms as you expect, clone it to your production site so there is minimal interruption. For more information on how to clone, please refer to this support post.
