Hello!

Thank you for that awesome work what have you done πŸ™‚

I wanted to ask update from 8 to 11.

I would need to update webpage silently πŸ™‚

Is that right to do?

1) I’ll upload new theme to the FTP.
2) I’ll change current website to Twentyeleven theme.
3) I’ll rename old Newspaper theme to different folder name and new theme to the old folder name (to keep database settings and url-s)
4) I’ll acticate new theme.
5) I’ll install immediately Standard Pack plugin to keep remain settings what I had.
6) Install plugins what I need (td-composer, td-cloud-library)
7) I’ll build new frontpage with td-composer on another page. (So long standard pack holds visual composer premade front page what I had before)
8) I’ll make new header and footer from tagdiv cloud library.
9) I’ll change footer and header and front page.
10) I’ll disable Standard pack plugin and conclusion is that – website is faster? πŸ™‚

Best regards

Hi,
Yes, you are right, maybe is not 100% but 90% are, to remove the standard pack you’ll need to use cloud templates and for pages you’ll need to replace the simple blocks and grids with flex blocks and flex grids. But before this you’ll need to have a full backup and is no need to set on a different theme during the theme update. When you update the theme via FTP/cPanel, you’ll need to copy and replace only the Newspaper theme (delete the old Newspaper theme and unzip the new one), after the theme is set, you need to go in WordPress > Newspaper > welcome section and update the theme from there. Also because you have an older version, you need to install the tagDiv Standard pack from Newspaper > plugins.
Thank you!

Hi!

Thank you πŸ˜‰

I wanted to ask, if I have to downgrade version back to what it was before, then I couldn’t anymore? In test enviroment were all good but I think something might happen, then can I downgrade also. Tried to change theme and used old plugins but then it was messed up in test πŸ™‚

// Sorry, I think I got it updated now and no need to downgrade. Head got little bit nervous and overthinking πŸ™‚ Now I can make ready cloud templates for all and then I can disable standard pack and then I can get site speeded up.
