Hi.
So I have some confusion and I’m hoping that by raising a question here, it can be resolved.
Question 1 –
So we have a test environment where we have uploaded this theme and whenever we want to do some changes to our website, we first test them out on this test environment, and only when we are satisfied, we do these changes to the main website (where also the same Newspaper theme is uploaded).
Now, neither of them are activated, I mean we haven’t activated our theme. Neither on the main website nor on the test website.
Now we want to first update our theme version on our main site. We have done this on the test environment but not on the main website.
The procedure for this which we follow is –
Deactivate the theme > Delete the theme > Upload the new one.
Can you guys tell me if I’m doing something wrong here? And if that’s the case, what’s the right procedure?
Also, when I repeat the above-mentioned steps to update the theme on my live site, can this procedure lose result in loss of some settings or data when I upload the new version of the theme?
Question 2-
Infinity scroll.
It is said that for using Infinity scroll, we have to activate the Cloud Library plugin, then select a template from that plugin for a blog page and only then we can use Infinity Scroll.
Now, Cloud Library plugin is a plugin which works when your theme is activated, if I’m correct.
Now, what if we want to test it in the testing environment first? Because if I activate the theme in the test environment, my live website won’t be using the activated theme then!
What should we do in this case? Should we test this directly on the live website?
Also, tell me about the mobile responsiveness for infinity scroll because I have read at some places that it doesn’t work properly on mobile.
Thanks and Regards
Hi,
Yes, the way you are do the update is very good; also all the changes made in theme panel or using tagDiv Composer will not be lost, but if you made some changes in theme files those will be overwrite.

Indeed the tagDiv Cloud Library can be access only if you have the theme activate.
If you are make the testing on sub-domain or localhost you have no problem with the license agreement.
You can read more abouut it here:

If you are using the mobile theme, then the infinity scroll will not work, but if you’ll use the responsive version then you should have the infinity scroll on mobile too
Thank you!
