Few technical questions relating to theme

Posted in: Newspaper

Hey there,

I currently run the Gadgets Demo of Newspaper theme but have run into a few problems:

1. There seems to be some trace of LayerSlide WP from the theme (eventhough the plugin is deleted) and it is causing some errors with other plugins.

2. Guest authors using Co-author plugin. Can you please tell me where to paste the code for this plugin just for the Guest Author capability? I know the multi-author is a little more complicated but I just want to know how to integrate guest author just like any other author in theme. (where to paste the necessary code).

3. How do I update the theme without loosing all of the customizations on it? I read your tutorial but when using the envato market plugin it says the theme file already exists. Using ftp, I will loose all the customizations of the theme. Can you help?

Hello,
1. Please make sure you disable all plugins except the page builder and clear all caching including the browser cache, a cache plugin, a cdn server or even a hosting side cache.

2. We do not have any official method of implementation for co-authors. Our theme does not have such a feature to provide. The plugin you mention is not tested so I cannot say for sure where to implement the code I assume is provided by the plugin.

3. Unfortunately if you edited the theme files and have modifications in the php code, there is absolutely no method to update and not lose your customization. You cannot alter the code and keep it update proof. It;s best to make a back-up of your modifications and keep track of them in order to re-apply them after an update.
Use this guide to update but do not use the automatic method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/

Thank you!
