Hi team,
I need to update my website from version 10.x.x.. I would like to first update to Newspaper 11 and then to Newspaper 12 – can I download the older theme files somewhere (those of 11)?
Kind regards
Hello,
There are a lot of updates and I think it might be a “waste of time” to update the website with each version of the theme. You can also try to update on a subdomain or staging website and try to update the theme to the latest version and see what problems may arise. -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
You should download the latest version of it from the Theme Forest account
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 need to update the theme plugins too.
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 Anamaria,
thanks for your quick reply. We thought of this strategy because the direct update causes a lot of problems on our website. We we would like to do it in 2 steps. You’d still advice do everything alltogether?
Kind regards
