Dear all,
I’m going to update Newspaper from 4.6.3 to 8.
I read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and at section “Updating from Newspaper 4:” he talks about “Update Script” to run after upgrading files.
Now, in 8.00 that function is missing, it was a deprecated function?
Thank’s a lot!
Hello,
The update script was commented out but it can be re-enabled from here: https://www.screencast.com/t/B3Xh4ZtU
Simply remove the comments around the code <!–
Thank you!
Thank’s a lot,
why you commented that part?
Dear, after doing script, I got a “Permission denied”…
Can you help me?
I talked with hosting and they told me that problem is by theme side, it seems to call outside servers … when clicking on script….
Jumping from v4 to v8 you’re much better off doing clean install via FTP, after doing backups, and such; as so much has changed, it’s quite a lot. Went through that with Newsmag going from 1x to 3x.
(I don’t work here – just opinion.)
Thank’s a lo Chris! What do you mean with “Clean install” via FTP ? Making a “Clean Install” that’s mean that I haven’t run script?
What is job of that script that they recommend?
Hello,
What Chris is trying to say is that you will have to delete the old theme and install the new version as if you would switch to a different theme because this is very close to changing themes. you are very very far behind with your theme version. You will have to recreate your pages and sidebars anyway as we have moved over to a new page builder in the current version: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
You will see it is very easy to create your page from scratch so you will not need the old layout anymore, so no need to convert the shortcodes using the script. You can simply create new elements in a heartbeat.
Thank you!
Thank’s a lot! For me is not a problem to do it “From scratch” I would like to know what that scripts have to do…
