Any tip on how to upgrade it?

Hi, thanks!
This is the first time that I use this theme, I have no idea for how long they are using newspaper4 as their theme, but I appreciate any help to migrate to newspaper6.

They have a blog running on http://www.agoramt.com.br using newspaper4 with a childtheme.
I created a subdomain http://beta.agoramt.com.br and I clonned the blog there, and I followed the upgrade proccess, but this is what I’m getting:

Hi,
The issues you encounter are because of the child theme. The child theme is not update proof especially in a big update such as this. ALL the code was changed from version 4 to version 6. The child theme needs to be updated as well. All the customization done in the child theme or the main theme for that matter will no longer work anymore as newspaper 6 is almost like a different theme from newspaper 4. Please remove your child theme and copy the one that comes with the newspaper 6 package here: http://screencast.com/t/dzXyHwt9lQJ
If you need help on how to create the child theme, please follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
