Newspaper 7 to 9 Upgrade

Hi,

That is possible, thought it would be like installing a new theme almost. There were many changes in the theme since version 7, the changelog can be seen at the bottom of this page

Maybe it would be better to test this in a development install or copy of the website, instead of the live website, if possible. This would be safer. There are plugins that can duplicate the website, or clone it (like the duplicator plugin). Then update there first, to see the results.
This would be better than trying it on the live website, I believe it is worth considering

If you have more questions let us know.
Thanks

Hi,

Please notice that before each theme updating, we strongly recommend making a full backup to your database to avoid losing all of your data. After you have made this, you can update the theme via FTP way, according to our documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/

Thank you!
