Hello guys,
I hope you’re all doing well.
Let me start by thanking you for creating such an amazing, and completely stunning theme. Your work is just out of this world, which is why so many people love it!
I decided to update my website, which is an online magazine, and to install Newspaper 6. Thing is, I have over 700 posts and 20 categories on the website, and really don’t know where to start. Is there any specific procedure I should follow to ensure a smooth transition? Especially that I really want to use the standard demo for my website.
Any tips or tutorial to walk me through?
I would be really grateful if you could help 🙂
Best,
Good tutorial video in theme docs. We used it on site with thousands of articles and mo issues. Check the docs link right side of this page for good starting point.
Hi,
Please follow this guide to upgrade to the version 6 of the theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ Make full backup of your current installation – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups and then do a clean update, meaning that we recommend that you delete the old version of the theme before uploading the new one. Then update also the theme plugins: Visual Composer (also optional plugins Social Counter, Speed Booster if you use them). You will have to run the script that will import from database your settings, will change the shortcodes(see docs)…
Please note that Newspaper 6 is practically a new theme, so if you have old custom modifications to the files or custom css will not work, you will have to adjust and re-add them. Unfortunately you have to re-add the widgets to your sidebars(the custom sidebars will be imported – you don’t have to create them again) as they will become inactive or doesn’t exist in version 6.
Hope this helps!
