Hi All
I created a child theme when I installed Version 7 on our site. We are hosted on WPengine.
Im not sure how to update to 8.5 and preserve all the work we have done over the past year.
Im also worried about the upgrade to WP 4.9.1 – how will this change anything.

Hello,
Unfortunately your customization from newspaper 7 will most likely not work in newspaper 8.5 anymore. The code will have to be re-implemented and adjusted to the new theme code. There is no update proof method of altering the theme files. Code gets changed so your modifications of the old code need to change as well. WP 4.9.1 will not change anything though. Our theme is fully compatible with it so it should not create any issues.
Your child theme will have to be re-created though.
Please use this guide to properly update the theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thank you!
