With Jasmine 2.0 you can customize your child theme settings without editing the code. You can find more style settings under Theme Customizer section. We have removed Aspen Footer Editor Plugin and Theme Extras plugin from the required plugins lists. They were previously used to built the footer and 404 page, but we have now replaced them with Theme Builder templates.

WARNING: After the update, you may want to re-import child theme settings and import theme builder templates. To do so, make sure you have WP Layouts installed and activated, go to the child theme settings, and check only these two options (because you do not want to import whole demo data once again). Please note: theme/plugin options may overwrite your existing settings. Importing theme builder templates is safe. It doesn't overwrite existing templates, it's only adding new ones.

It might happen that some sections will be duplicated if you notice the following issue, just remove duplication.

Social media icons​

Make sure social media icons are working and are linking to the right place. In Jasmine 2.0.0 social media icons are created with the Divi Modules and implemented into the Footer Theme Builder. Import theme builder templates to use those or import an individual Footer Layout. You can find individual layouts on the downloadable files list ( Log in to the site you have made purchase on -> go to My Account -> My Downloads. Unpackage file and follow instructions from the instructions.txt file)

If something goes wrong - restore your backup. If you want to go back to previous version of the child theme - your choice! All child theme versions will be still available under your download files.
