 * Hi [@alriksson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alriksson/),
    Please read
   the error attentive, it says you have an old outdated wpDiscuz template file 
   in your child theme /wpdiscuz/ folder. We’ve mentioned in all updated instruction
   that you should make sure you don’t have customized old template file before 
   the update. So please remove your customized /wpdiscuz/ folder before updating
   to wpDiscuz 7. `/wp-content/themes/pro-child/wpdiscuz/` You can back up it if
   you’re going to add the same changes in current version.

 * Yeah I did not remove it before I updated but I did afterwards. So it does not
   work to remove it after the update? The code is no longer there meaning it should
   not interfere?

 * What do you mean?

 * I mean if you are a developer and you can do the same customization on wpDiscuz
   7 template files, then backup the old customized template file to remember what
   had you done and try to do the same for the new one.
