How to Update MyBandTheme
We occasionally release updates to MyBandTheme, which may address bugs or introduce new features. The contents of each update are detailed on the respective update details page, as well as the email notification we send out to existing customers.
While updating is not mandatory, it is recommended. If you are satisfied with how your installation operates, and don't want to add any of the new features released with the update, you may opt not to update at all, which is perfectly OK as well.
