Sirs,
Based on this comment in another thread:
“Moving forward with such requirements, a child theme will only work with functions.php, and style.css as there are very few files left in the main theme as envato requires all functionality to be added through plugins.”
Am i to understand that moving forward:
1) Newspaper will still support a child theme but only for functions.php and style.css changes?
2) Any other changes will have to be done on each update manually within the TagDiv Composer plugin ?
3) Will child theme support changes to editors-style.css as a major frustration has been amendments to for example quotes show in front end, but not in the editor, so it is not a wysiwyg environment?
4) Based on comments in other threads, the following line in child theme function requires to be changed from 1000 to 11 so it shows: “add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’, 11);” – is this correct, as it is not in the update guide?
5) Can their be a guide created for child theme users from 9.7.3 onwards, as the guide is clear for non child theme users, but not for those with a child theme.
Hi,
1. Yes the child theme is still supported but only for those two files ( functions.php, style.css ).
2. If you make changes in theme files or tagDiv Composer plugin files you need to do those changes manually after each updates, if you chose to use tagdiv Composer you can modelate the templates as you want and the changes will not be removed after theme update.
What is the Cloud Library and How You Should Use It? -> https://tagdiv.com/what-is-the-cloud-library/
3. Unfortunately only changes in functions.php and style.css will be supported.
4. If you are not using the child theme that comes in Newspaper theme v9.7.3 and you are using a child from a prev version,you need to make that change,
5. We are working to a new documentation with more details about how to use our theme, hope this will be finished soon.
Thank you!
Greatly appreciate your time taken to answer my queries.
On point 2, can you explain what “modelate the templates” means. This appears like it could be a solution to the kind of minor changes I wish to make. Apologies, I am not a coder, and a hobbyist learning and keen to learn as I go.
One suggestion that could be a huge bonus to TagDiv theme users. A page that is a list of known issues, and short term fixes. I often find that the issues I face have been faced by someone else, and the solution has been offered up in another thread. Pending a future update fix. Sometimes it is hard to find those same errors if the terminology i use is slightly different.
Hi,
You can edit the templates for tagDiv Cloud Library using the tagDiv Composer to achieve the layout you need.
I will note your suggestion on our suggestion list and maybe this will be implemented in in our forum.
Thank you!
