Hello. I’m new to WP and new to Newspaper theme. I did a lot of work to update my site to use the Newspaper theme, including a tiny bit of custom CSS. I’m now being asked to update the Newspaper theme 10, but WP is saying I can lose all my customizations and to create “child themes”. I have no idea what these are or if I need to use them. Will I really lose all customizations by updating the theme?
I should also note that the CSS that I have added is in the Newspaper Theme Custom Code section of the Theme Panel. And I’m using all the cloud templates, although I have updated/customized them through tagdiv editing.
Hello!
First of all, please make sure you have a backup done and then you can update the theme and the TagDiv plugins also.
Please take a look for this advice before updating: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/action-required-please-read-how-to-update-to-the-newspaper-theme-v-10/
I recommend you to make a backup and update plugins and the theme via file transfer, so that you don’t face any error: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
The child theme is not overwritten by the update. An issue for that could be the compatibility of your child theme with the new version of our theme(if you use some files which were updated). If you’ll have some custom modifications directly in the theme files, then better save the code and replace it after the update.
Make sure that all the requirements are done as you can see here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Thank you!
