Updating from 7.4 to 12.2

Hi. I’m trying to update but I can’t find the header nor footer templates. I managed to get the cloud template for header but I can’t show the top bar. I couldn’t find the footer template I was using (template 4 in version 7). Is there a document I’m missing on how to update from version 7?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

You can add the top bar if you use a header template -> https://www.screencast.com/t/YqnngRKe or you can import a header template that is precisely like header style 1 -> https://i.imgur.com/EAothGC.png -> https://cloud.tagdiv.com/header-template-1/ and this way you can customize each element like logo -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/add-logo-newspaper/ , with tagDiv Composer -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/.
Please check this video about how can create a website from scratch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoGQ0d5kIBg
You can import a footer template here https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
If you want to update the theme, download the latest version from the Theme Forest account and download it.
Please make a full backup to all files and database => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAJXrSI-dDA
Here you can find information about the changes that have occurred in each update over time https://tagdiv.com/newspaper/
I recommend that you update the theme manually https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ via FTP/cPanel/File Manager, also if possible disable extra plugins during the theme update to avoid any problems that may arise and make sure that you have activated the tagDiv Standard pack plugin to keep the website’s look. You can try to update the theme on a staging website.
After you update the theme, you must also update the theme plugins.
In the worst cases, the settings in the theme panel may be lost (there have been isolated cases), in these cases, after the theme plugins that were previously used are activated, you will have to use a backup for the theme panel -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/

Thank you!

Hi, thanks but I’m just updating and I need the website to look exactly the same as it looks on version 7. Is there a way I can just do that?
I saved the options but panel 7 has templates and version 12 needs me to create a new footer, for example.

Thanks!

Hello,

You can now use the header and footer template from Theme Panel; please activate the tagdiv Standard Pack plugin, but please note this plugin is deprecated; but until you find the suitable cloud template, you can use them.

Thank you!
