Is there a way to keep the settings even after installing the new theme version?

Greetings,

I use Version 1.3.2. As I see, there is a new 1.3.4.
When I want to upgrade to it, I am told that I will lose all settings.
Is there a way to keep the settings even after installing the new version of Travelify?

Settings created via Theme Options won’t be lost because they are written inside WP database. Things like plugin settings and WP settings in general will still be there as well.

Changes you have done inside the actual code will be lost such as changing colors etc. To keep all your changes you can use WordPress Child Theme which is the recommended method for customizing themes.

Here you can read more about Child Themes: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
Basically you create a new theme that overwrites existing one. In this way all your changes done in style.css will remain update after update.
