Hi guys,
I’ve recently updated to version 10.3.3 from 9.x and I’m in the process of moving my child theme over.
It appears that child theme files for tag.php, category.php etc, no longer respect the “ARTICLE DISPLAY VIEW” or “CUSTOM SIDEBAR + POSITION” set within the theme panel.
Even if I start with bare child theme and simply copy:
/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/tag.php
to:
/wp-content/themes/Newspaper-Child/tag.php
As soon as this file is in the child template directory I lose the theme panel settings mentioned above. Please note that this happens with an exact copy of the original theme file and no other files modigied in the child theme.
If I delete this file then the settings start working again.
Is there any reason for this? Are child themes still supported?
I cannot use cloud templates for my particular use case so I need to be able to utilize a child theme.
Thanks
Hi,
If you want to have the category.php set in child theme and the category to work as parent them, then you need to set the category.php file from here wp-content/plugins/td-standard-pack/Newspaper/category.php in child theme wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/category.php -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
All the files that you are using when tagDiv Composer is enable are these from tagDiv Standard Pack, all the files that you want to set in child theme, you need to copy from there.
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
