Upgrade Newspaper 7.7.1 to Newspaper 8.7.1

Looks like I am exactly one full version behind. Are there any special steps to upgrade from where I am way back in time, or is it just the usual upgrade procedure? I do remember getting an email some time ago with special instructions for upgrading to one of the newer versions, I think when Newspaper 8 was released. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

That is quite an old theme version, much has changed in the theme since then. However you can make the update and there should be no problem. Follow this guide

Update by FTP if possible, this is the most recommended method in the matter. After the update deactivate the tagDiv composer, this composer may cause issues to pages built with Visual composer. It will be activated by default when the theme is installed or updated.

The tagDiv composer is considered the main theme page builder now, Visual composer will still be included in the package and updated along theme updates

There will be a new theme update released this week, to fix some of the issues with the latest version. You could wait for this release and update after it is live.

Thank you!
