Newspaper theme overwriting cron jobs

Hi, I have a plugin installed on my site that relies on a cron job to function properly. I am having issues with the job running and have been working with the plugin developer to identify the problem. After some troubleshooting, he determined that the issue was that the cron job was being removed due to the Newspaper theme overwriting the schedule to add it’s own, where instead it should simply add it without overwriting. Is there a way that this can be fixed? The site that I am developing relies heavily on this plugin.
