Hi. Please check out my site: https://www.theeides.com

Within the last two days, it has been displaying strangely. I’m at my wits end after trying everything to figure it out! Thank you.

Hi,

If you are using a child-theme this could affect the functionality so try switching to the main theme. Also disable all the plugins except Visual Composer and clear the cache. Hope this helps

Thanks

Simion, thanks for the reply. The problem is intermittent. I need to be able to use the child theme (and expect to be able to with a premium theme)… I have also cleared the cache and that didn’t help. Any other ideas?

Hi,

Of course you can use a child theme, but please read this explanation of how the child theme works and the need to update it https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/setting-up-child-theme/

Thanks

Thank you. My child theme only contains functions.php and style.css

functions.php
(<?php

/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Newspaper 7 Child theme - Please do not use this child theme with older versions of Newspaper Theme

What can be overwritten via the child theme:

- everything from /parts folder

- all the loops (loop.php loop-single-1.php) etc

- the rest of the theme has to be modified via the theme api:

https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-theme-api/

*/

/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

add the parent style + style.css from this folder

*/

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles', 1001);

function theme_enqueue_styles() {

wp_enqueue_style('td-theme', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', '', TD_THEME_VERSION . 'c' , 'all' );

wp_enqueue_style('td-theme-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array('td-theme'), TD_THEME_VERSION . 'c', 'all' );

}

Also I have another Newspaper site using a child theme (I’ve purchased 2 licenses) which has not had these issues.

The more I look into this I believe it’s a problem with the Ads… when I removed the article inline ad, it worked fine.

Actually, that also only worked temporarily 🙁 It also does not appear to be a plugin conflict as I have deactivated all and it didn’t help.

Hello,

You will be able to use the child theme but only if you update it and make the necessary adjustments for future updates. A child theme is never update proof. If you alter functions.php and style.css those are files that are constantly changed in each update. They will have to be adjusted and your modifications tested with the new version each time. Please test without the child theme. Disable it for testing and see if the problem goes away without it.

Thank you!

Hi Bogdan,

I didn’t change or add anything to functions.php yet, just added the standard as posted above.

OK, but even if you did not edit anything in the child theme. How old is it? When did you create it? Please always use the style.css and functions.php provided in the child theme in each version release. If you did not alter anything then there will be no consequence in deleting and using the child theme provided with the latest version of the theme: http://screencast.com/t/jZ8YLxL0
Thanks.

Bogdan, when trying to diagnose the issue, I overwrote the functions.php and style.css that was in my child theme with the newest versions from the code folder, so they are up to date.
