Fashion Style in Newspaper 6.1

When I upgrade from V4 I’d like to use the fashion version of V6.1. How do I do that?

Thanks

Derek

At bottom of the main theme admin panel, choose import styles.

Note the link to documentation for NP6 right side of this page >>>>>>>

Hi Chris thanks.

How can I make sure importing the demo won’t overwrite my existing data?

You should export your current settings, probably.

Changing the CSS will change the look and settings, that’s the purpose of using the styles/demos; they change the settings. To go back you would need to reset things. See the theme docs for more info.

It doesn’t wipe everything … e.g., WP settings.

But if you currently have font x at size x set for your post pages; changing to a demo changes the settings — that’s what you’re telling it to do, change all your “design” choices. Basic settings don’t change.

Thanks Chris but I’m not concerned about preserving font sizes – I’m concerned with keeping my pages and posts so my question is if I imported the fashion demo would my current pages and posts be overwritten?

Also how would I make sure my featured images which are in the main 745x483pixels fit the new fashion style?

Thanks

Derek

Changing themes does not delete your posts; think of a demo “style” as a child theme for the main theme. Just don’t install demo CONTENT; only install demo STYLES. Two different things. Demo “styles” are CSS. Demo content is temp content for webdev work.

You will need to regen your thumbnails after upgrade, just like any theme change.

And of course you should be making both a dbase backup on server of your content periodically; and doing an export of your CONTENT periodically, anyway.
