Excellent and Extremely Reliable! Updating a Shopify theme can be tedious, complicated, and risky, especially with a customized website. Theme Updater & Backups makes the entire process incredibly easy, safe, and reliable. The backup feature provides great peace of mind, and the update process is simple and secure. A must-have app for any Shopify store owner who wants to keep their theme updated without the stress or fear of breaking their website!
We’re using the Combine theme. We’ve made a lot of code improvements. We needed to update our theme to version 4.0.0 without losing any code blocks. We completed the update using Theme Updater. There were just a few minor issues left to sort out. Myles from the support team helped us with this very quickly. We were very pleased with both the application and the support team.
Usually, we've had no issues in updating the Turbo theme. But this version from 9.6 to 10 -- went haywire. AI allegedly handled all but one of the customizations in upgrading the theme, but our opening slide show was completely screwed up. For now, we've left v9.6 in place. It's frustrating having had / worked with this theme for years without needing to hire an expert -- apparently, now we will have to? Disappointing. BUT.... 2 days later, OOTS support responded quickly to our ticket, stepped in and fixed the issue. Not only did they fix it, they followed up to be sure that the site is working properly. Today, we published the 10 version. Thanks, OOTS!
Hi Sprout Enterprise® team! We’re here to help, and I am very happy to hear that our support team was able to work with you to get the updated theme version ready to publish! The best way for us to assist is through our dedicated support team. Depending on the number of customizations made to your theme, or how many versions you’re updating from, the process can sometimes require additional guidance. Connecting with our team early allows us to better understand your setup and help guide you through the update as smoothly as possible. All the best, Out of the Sandbox
GREAT Support, the app didn't install an older clean version of a theme for me (to compare customizations), but support did install one for me.
Hi FabricSmiths Inc. team! Happy to hear that our support team was able to help you out! Thank you very much for your review. All the best, Out of the Sandbox
Theme Updater has made updating on Shopify so much easier. Please remember to be very careful adding 3rd party apps to your store so the update can go smoothly and you spend your time working on marketing. Be sure to review Out of the Sandbox premium theme sections so your system uses known compatible apps.
