Find theme modifications before updating

[Alex]

Hi guys,

Because I’m really “smart,” I don’t use a child theme for one of my sites (the most important one of course).
Now I am scared to update.
What would be a good way to go about the update? Or just do it and keep my fingers crossed…

Thank you

Hi there,

I’m not sure if I understand.

Have you made some modifications to the theme files?

Hi Leo,

The problem is that I can’t remember if I did make any changes.

Hi there,

You could use a program like this: https://sourcegear.com/diffmerge/

Then you can download 2.4.2: https://wordpress.org/themes/download/generatepress.2.4.2.zip

And then download the folder you’re currently using.

Then you can compare the two folders with that program to find the difference.
