You can upgrade sure - but you will have to merge that template and all it's related files very very carefully.

Most templates only modify template files and stylesheets. Template Monster has a habit of also modifying core PHP files, and even database entries, to create their designs. Just another reason most experienced Zenners don't recommend TM.

Hi

i have had some dealings with template monster. Their technical help is as good as a retard with a flat tyre... honestly they are crap.

I would suggest that you copy the template and then merge that into the updated site and take it from there. Making sure that this is a test site and not live.

I purchased a template from tem monster and i had so many issues and no one could help me.

Thanks and good luck....
