From Newspaper 7.8 to 8.6

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello,

it’s been a while since I haven’t updated my theme. I noticed that I stayed at version 7.8.

Unfortunately, at the moment in the download area I can only download the patch to switch from version 8.5 to version 8.6.

How can I switch from version 7.8 to the latest version?

Thank you in advance for the help you will give me

Gabriele

Ps: I would also have a problem with photos in related posts and in some blocks. They do not appear.

The website is https://giuricivile.it.

I hope that updating the theme will solve the problem….

Hi,

The images are displaying fine at the moment from what I can see, on the whole website

Only the latest version is available for download. In order to update the theme please follow this guide
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
The most recommended method would be by FTP, and as always make a backup first. Update the theme plugins as well (deactivate and remove, then reinstall from latest theme package).
Note that in version 8 of the theme, the tagDiv composer was introduced. This composer will be activated by default when the theme is updated or installed. In order to use it all the pages have to be recreated with it. Or you can continue using Visual composer for the moment, and make the transition when you want, if you want. More about it here

Also a multi-purpose plugin was introduced, this adds many more elements and options to the tagDiv composer only

Visual composer (now WPBakery Page Builder) is still provided in the theme package and updates are included along with the theme

Let us know if you should encounter issues after the update. It is a general recommendation to always keep WordPress and the theme updated.

Thanks
