 * Hello! i’m using sydney 1.83, but a bit afraid to jump to the newest version 
   of Sydney. So I would like to know if I can upgrade to wordpress 6.4.3 and still
   using sydney 1.83?
 * Thanks for your precious advice!

 * Hi [@salabert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salabert/),
 * Upgrading to newest version from 1.83 may require manual adjustments for settings
   have been made in Customizer. Because there have been a lot of code and structure
   update.

 * If I jump to the upadte and discover a full mess, is there a way to get back 
   to 1.83?…

 * Thanks for getting back [@salabert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salabert/)!
 * Content/data revert is separated from theme.
 * Before updating the theme, you will need to do full site backup.

 * Hello Kharis! Backup done!
 * But do you think I can upgrade to new WP6.4.3 and stay with my 1.83 Sydney theme?
   Maybe it’s safer as 1.83 works fine for my needs…
