Hi,
I had to upgrade to newspaper 6 yesterday. Now most of the pages I had already edited appear without layout, text or pictures. A few pages still have the text and the header picture in the wrong size.I did run the update script as suggested, but that does not have seemed to work either. The settings are not like I used to have them. Is there any easy way to get my work back? I am a beginner, so laymans terms are greatly appreciated!
thank you!
Hi,
Please provide your site URL so we can take a look. Also please make sure that no files from version 4 of the theme remain after update like it is specified in the docs(this depends how did you updated FTP,wordpress..) and check if you updated also the plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugins folder and check the version – http://screencast.com/t/nn2stdsARkr
If you follow all these steps from “how to update 4-6” guide and run the script check your page only with Visual Composer active an also clear cache. You need also to regenerate the thumbnails after update – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
Please note that in version 6 any customization(to the theme files, custom css) from old version will not work and you will have to re-add them. In the “how to update” guide is specified that you will have to run the script that will import from database your settings, will change the shortcodes. Unfortunately you will have to re-add your widgets in the sidebars as some of them may not be imported or don’t exist anymore, also they will become inactive.
Thanks!
