Hello,
My suggestion is to try first the theme option for this -> https://i.imgur.com/8iB5qME.png -> https://i.imgur.com/4QNFQk8.png
Also, if that code need to be set in functions.php, the please use a child theme and set that code in the functions.php from the child theme.
Thank you!

How to use child theme? where it is located?

Post count: 35449

Hi,
The child theme is already available in the /code/ folder in the package that you downloaded from Themeforest. It includes the style.css and functions.php files by default.
Thank you!

Hi! I don’t have that folder. I will download it again.

However, If I make changes in function.php with my folder being in the system, will changes appear automatically in the website, Or will I have to upload something to the website

Hi,
If you are using the child theme (child theme must be enabled) and you set the function in the functions.php file from the child theme, then this should be apply.
Thanks,

how to enable the child theme? I am not able to find it.

Hi,
Once that you download the package with all files you’ll need to unzip it and navigate inside it, there you’ll see a folder /code/ inside it is a folder called Newspaper-child, zip that folder and install it like a normal theme, then just enable it.
Here is a guide that can help you: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-install-a-wordpress-child-theme/
Thank you!

hi!! calin I have installed the child theme into my wordpress. By installing it, will my parent theme be affected or not?

Post count: 35449

Hi,
The parent theme need to be installed to, but the child theme need to be enable, so the settings made in the child theme will apply on the website and the settings will no be lost hen the main theme will be update.
Thank you!

Hi! please check this link: https://imgur.com/FKdmMZe

I activated the child theme in my dashboard, I also made changes to the child theme.

But I guess, when I activate the child theme, the parent theme gets automatically deactivated. I activated the parent theme again, but the changes I made in the child theme got overwritten. (you can check the above image for reference)

How to keep the parent theme activated as well as how to enable the child theme?
Please send me the graphical example to do the same.

Hi,

The parent theme isn’t actually deactivated when activating a child theme, or else nothing would work anymore. The child theme will appear as active in the WordPress themes panel, but in fact both the parent theme and the child theme are active.

If you want to use a child theme, simply activate it and use it for the intended purpose. Don’t worry, the parent theme is also active. Please try it.

Thank you!

Hey Calin,
I want to show Last modified/Last updated date on my posts, but it seems the option you mentioned in the screenshot for Post, is not available for me, is there anything else I need to do first before I see this ? Also, will it just start showing the updated post date or will it show along side post date ?

Thanks

Hi mask,
Do you have the last theme version? IF you have the Newspaper v11.5.1 then the option should be there, but please notice that the options from that screenshot are only for standard templates, if you are using a single post template from the cloud, then you can edit it using the tagDiv Composer.
Thank you!

Hello,
According to your screenshot you need to regenerate the thumbs, in this way those should be generate in the proper size -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Thank you!

Is there any way I can do it without any plugin? Why images are not properly visible.

Also I want to change the size of the featured image, how to do that?

The images are cropped and the crop is not correctly done, that it is way you need to regenerate them, after that you can remove the plugin.
To do this on pages you can use the flex block -> https://i.imgur.com/ApYXD7M.png then from layout tab you can set the image size -> https://i.imgur.com/l1fZ3K2.png this can be done only on pages where tagDiv Composer is used.
For the featured image on categories you can set a different style -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-category-settings-work/
Also for posts -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-post-templates/
Thank you!
