 * Hello,
 * I am using the freee Virtue theme. Since WP 4.7.1 I cannot update the Theme. 
   It is so that the whole folder in wp-content/themes/virtue is empty except of
   the folder themeoptions. The same is with WP 4.7.2.
 * The page url: [http://www.beschaeftigungsfee-ines.de/](http://www.beschaeftigungsfee-ines.de/)
 * What can I do? Is there another way to update the theme without losing all theme
   settings? I am also using the Child Theme of the Virtue theme.
 * Cheers,
    Lutfi

 * Hey Lufti,
 * You can follow these steps to manually update the theme. Just re-download from
   wordpress.org and follow these steps:
    [https://www.kadencethemes.com/manually-updating-a-theme/](https://www.kadencethemes.com/manually-updating-a-theme/)
 * Let me know if that works for you. You shouldn’t lose any theme settings, as 
   those are saved in your site’s database.
