Hi there,
I tried deleting the old theme and installing the new theme (through the WordPress interface), then reactivating the child theme, but that resulted in a white (blank) site. How do I upgrade to Newspaper 6 when using a child theme with Newspaper 4?
Thanks,
Ken
Hi,
You will have to update also the child, the old customization(files, custom css) will not work with the new version of the theme, it must be regarded as a new one(the code was rewritten).
Please check the /code folder and upload the child theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/
Also you can check the new child theme documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thanks!
There’s a lot of custom CSS in our child theme; are you saying we’ll have to basically rebuild the website to migrate to Version 6?
Will version 4 continue to receive security and plugin updates?
Hi,
Newspaper 6 is practically a new theme, the whole code was rewritten, reviewed and refactored. Lots of new features have been added, new grid system, new design, options and so on. I suppose you would want to use new version’s features/blocks/modules. We have added within theme’s panel an update script which when run will import the previous version settings, but unfortunately you will have to adjust the custom css to work in latest version, sorry!
We will try to provide security updates for a while, but I suggest to update to the latest version and always use the latest version.
Thanks!
