[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In this article you will learn how to migrate to Jupiter V5, taking into account all of the changes that need closer inspection. We anticipate the migration process to be the smoothest ever and It will be just like another theme update. The only thing that might be time consuming during the migration is if you have modified the theme in a child theme. To make sure you complete the migration with the least amount of hassle, we have listed all the things you need to be aware of before upgrading below:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_fancy_title tag_name="h4" color="#444444" size="18" font_weight="bold" txt_transform="capitalize" letter_spacing="1" margin_bottom="0" font_family="none"]Jupiter V5 Server Requirements[/mk_fancy_title][mk_divider style="thin_solid" divider_width="custom_width" custom_width="25" align="left" thin_single_color="#fe5320" thickness="3" margin_top="5"][vc_column_text]Before upgrading to V5.0 make sure you server complies with <strong><a href="https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/">WordPress environment requirements</a></strong>.

These changes to the theme decrease the page loading time. We collect the features that are being used in a website into a database and keep track of them while you use the site. However in some cases you may need to click on the <strong>Clear Theme Cache</strong> button. This link appears in the WP header toolbar and you should be logged in as an administrator to see it. This button will flush all stored data as well as static files. In each page visit the content will start to be shaped and generate the static files based on your usage. This feature is still in its beta stage and if you encounter any issues please report it to Artbees Helpdesk.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size="20"][mk_image src="http://demos.artbees.net/jupiter5/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/clear-theme-cache.jpg" image_size="full" title="Background Selector Patterns" desc="A comparison between old and new background selector" caption_location="outside-image" align="center"][mk_padding_divider size="60"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_fancy_title tag_name="h4" color="#444444" size="18" font_weight="bold" txt_transform="capitalize" letter_spacing="1" margin_bottom="0" font_family="none"]Patterns in background selector[/mk_fancy_title][mk_divider style="thin_solid" divider_width="custom_width" custom_width="25" align="left" thin_single_color="#fe5320" thickness="3" margin_top="5"][vc_column_text]<span style="font-weight: 400;">To create a lighter WP, which is easier to use, we have removed the predefined patterns and textures from </span><b>background selector.  </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you can see in the image below you are given only </span><b>Custom</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><b>No Image</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> options (comparing to V4 where you could also choose from predefined patterns).</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">In </span><b>V4.X</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and older versions the folder structure for shortcodes was as follows: </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">shortcodes/shortcode_name.php</span></i>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">In </span><b>V5.X</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> we have changed it to “architecture by feature” meaning that its configurations, styles, scripts and shortcode options stay on the same folder. You can also override its assets and options as well (which was previously not possible).</span>
