This Changelog marks the additions/removals/updates made to 5 Star Hotel as the product evolves. Our intention is to create products which improve over time, so you can enjoy ultimate value from your purchase years into the future.


How to update an already deployed installation of the theme:


  • Each line or section which has been updated or added will have a comment above/next to it. Search the stylesheet supplied with the child theme for additions, removals and/or updates with the date of the change.
  • For example, search for /*Updated 10/24/17*/ or /*Added 10/24/17*/ or /*Removed 10/24/17*/ to find changes for that update.
  • Then compare those lines of code with your own stylesheet and copy any changes needed to fix issues.
