If you see Page Not Found for properties, categories, save Permalinks for the new plugin functions to apply correctly:

• 2. Theme options have been moved to REDUX Framework. The design is different but more intuitive and user-friendly. Plus, many clients may already be experienced with this framework since it’s used by many themes nowadays. Our entire theme help is being updated with the new screenshots.

Check the following after update

1. Features and amenities will need to be saved again for Search Form and Submit Form (this is done only once for Redux Framework)

• Copy Facebook API for login again

• We have checked that the transition for the previous theme options framework to Redux framework is smooth, and no option needs to be resaved (except features and amenities), but please check again the options on your end too.
• Permalinks must be saved again

• Clear browser cache after you update the theme from an older version to be sure you are loading the latest additions correctly. Without clearing browser cache, you will not see the theme options correctly! Clear CDN cache (if you use that), plugin cache (if you use that), server cache (if you use that) and browser cache (mandatory), server cache (if you use that).
• If you don’t see widgets – simply access the widgets page and check widgets are active.
