 * I have created a website using Diablo from Cosmo Themes. I tried to update wordpress
   and got locked out of the website, I could not access it at all. Someone had 
   to deleate and reinstall each page to get me access. Too scared to update wordpress
   as Dibalo theme does not seem compatible with latest update. Then the site got
   hacked. We have now cleaned the hack over many hours of work. We must update.
   But dont know what to do. Diablo and Cosmo Themes do not seem to have updated
   their theme. I paid money for this theme less than six months ago in good faith.
   I feel I have wasted hours and hours of time creating my site and buying an theme
   which turns out not to work. They do not reply to requests for help or support.
   Please please help. I want to update my site and do not know what to do

 * [@sallypomme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sallypomme/) I would suggest
   you hire a developer to get the site updated. Dont see much social activity from
   Cosmo Theme

 * Make your theme compatible with latest WP version?

 * Try using one of the default themes and see if you have the same issue. If not
   then the issue is with the theme and you need to find a replacement. Unfortunately
   just because you pay for a theme doesn’t mean that it has been well made
