Hi,
Most of the theme files were moved into the tagdiv composer plugin as per the requirements of envato: https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000472383-WordPress-Theme-Requirements.
We wrote an article on the subject here: https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
Moving forward with such requirements, a child theme will only work with functions.php, and style.css as there are very few files left in the main theme as envato requires all functionality to be added through plugins.
It is mandatory to delete all what was left from the older version before installing this update. Overwriting the files would cause a lot of problems and maybe you’ve missed something while deleting the old files. Have you checked the theme plugins to be deleted too ? If you are certain that you have installed the updates correctly by deleting all of the older versions and made a clean install from scratch, please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login, as well as cPanel or FTP if possible. We will take a look. Include a link to this topic in the email.
Also take a look at our documentation about installing the theme and plugins: https://tagdiv.com/how-to-install-plugins-and-update-plugins/ ; https://tagdiv.com/how-to-install-newspaper-theme/
Thank you for your understanding!

The best way to set an ad in a post template is to use a single post template from tagDiv Cloud Library and set the ads in ad box using tagDiv Composer.

Hi,
Since Newspaper v9.7 the child theme is working only for the functions.php and style.css files.
Unfortunately I do not know what will happen with child theme in the coming update, for the moment there are no news about what will happen.
Thank you for your understanding and sorry for the inconvenience!
Calin — where do I get a copy of Newspaper v9.6.1 ? The latest version is disrupting our site (yes, we use a child theme, and updating the functions.php didn’t solve the problem). Thanks, Calin.
I would check your Child Theme header in the functions.php I did the same thing but I was using an older child theme and it was throwing errors.
Hi,
Regarding the issue, note that the old API plugin will not work anymore. You can use the new creative plugin for this purpose – https://forum.tagdiv.com/developer-info/
After the 9.7 update many of the theme files were moved in the tagDiv composer, due to the new Envato requirements
– https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
As a consequence the child theme is quite limited now, only a few theme files can still be used in it ( functions.php and style.css ).
Also please make sure that you do not overwrite the theme when you make the update, please delete the current theme and only after that install the new version of theme.
Please make sure that all the settings are as in our requirements, please follow the guide carefully
– https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-requirements/
and please increase all requirements that are lower, and follow all steps.
Also please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict, please deactivate all non theme plugins, also if you are using child theme or cache plugin, please deactivate them, clear all cache and try again.
Thank you for your understanding!

If you are using child theme, you need to replace the child theme that you are using with the one that came with Newspaper v9.7.3, or you can edit the functions.php from 1001 to 11 and it should work: https://image.prntscr.com/image/LJgOPaseQeWx88hn-pSKGQ.png just make sure that you clear all cache after you make those changes.

I’ve just done the change recommended to the functions.php in the child theme (from 1001 to 11) and now the 9.7.3. version of the Newspaper Theme works. I’ve spent literally hours hunting around trying to figure this out.
I’ve been disabling plugins, adding vars to my php.ini etc etc.
I can’t change my client for this as it’s a theme I recommended. Guys please put this child theme functions.php required fix in bold, caps, top of your forum etc. CHILD THEMES are how we try to avoid main theme updates screwing everything up.
Hi,
In child theme will only work with functions.php, and style.css as there are very few files left in the main theme as envato requires all functionality to be added through plugins.
Also having both composers activate ( tagDiv Composer and WPBakery ) there appear some issues ( the usually issue is the single image, but there are others too ).
We’ll try to fix this as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi,
The Newsmag theme update brings a change for the customers that use WP Bakery Page Builder with our Theme: – When you’ll be updating to the Newspaper 9.7 version, you’ll need to activate the tagDiv Composer to keep the Newsmag theme functionality you’ve previously used. Otherwise, you will have basic WordPress functionality, complying with Envato WordPress Requirements – https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000472383-WordPress-Theme-Requirements Please note that activating the tagDiv Composer doesn’t mean that you are required to use our custom page builder on your website. You can use the WP Bakery page builder as you did before the update.
We recommended you to do not use the tagDiv Composer and WP Bakery page builders on the same page, because you cannot edit with WP Baker blocks and shortcodes created with tagDiv Composer or vice-versa. Please make a backup for your website before updating.

Edited the functions.php in child theme and everything is back to normal.
So — don’t use a child theme?
Or — the only thing to include in your child theme is functions.php, which will then override the parent functions.php?
What about changes to modules, blocks, etc?
Hi,
If you are using child theme, you need to replace the child theme that you are using with the one that came with Newspaper v9.7.3, or you can edit the functions.php from 1001 to 11 and it should work: https://image.prntscr.com/image/LJgOPaseQeWx88hn-pSKGQ.png just make sure that you clear all cache after you make those changes.

Hi,
1. Yes the child theme is still supported but only for those two files ( functions.php, style.css ).
2. If you make changes in theme files or tagDiv Composer plugin files you need to do those changes manually after each updates, if you chose to use tagdiv Composer you can modelate the templates as you want and the changes will not be removed after theme update.
What is the Cloud Library and How You Should Use It? -> https://tagdiv.com/what-is-the-cloud-library/
3. Unfortunately only changes in functions.php and style.css will be supported.
4. If you are not using the child theme that comes in Newspaper theme v9.7.3 and you are using a child from a prev version,you need to make that change,
5. We are working to a new documentation with more details about how to use our theme, hope this will be finished soon.
Thank you!

Short answer: Child themes that use more than functions.php and style.css are not compatible with 9.7.3. Welcome to the club. :/
Is there a way in which we can change the featured image size on single pages. I wanted something more of 16:9, but the default ones are more of a rectangular size. I have an image size defined by add_image_size() in functions.php. Is there anyway, i can override the size by some function or editing it in a child theme.?
Sirs,
Based on this comment in another thread:
“Moving forward with such requirements, a child theme will only work with functions.php, and style.css as there are very few files left in the main theme as envato requires all functionality to be added through plugins.”
Am i to understand that moving forward:
1) Newspaper will still support a child theme but only for functions.php and style.css changes?
2) Any other changes will have to be done on each update manually within the TagDiv Composer plugin ?
3) Will child theme support changes to editors-style.css as a major frustration has been amendments to for example quotes show in front end, but not in the editor, so it is not a wysiwyg environment?
4) Based on comments in other threads, the following line in child theme function requires to be changed from 1000 to 11 so it shows: “add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’, 11);” – is this correct, as it is not in the update guide?
5) Can their be a guide created for child theme users from 9.7.3 onwards, as the guide is clear for non child theme users, but not for those with a child theme.
I am using a child theme and overrode the header and footer parts and some of the modules. The new version of Newspaper breaks all my customizations. On a test site, I tried updating the child theme style.css and the top section of functions.php to the Newspaper Child Theme, keeping my other functions.php customizations, and then adding a folder for td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/ and then copying my /parts and /includes folders from my child theme, but the site is still broken. What do I need to do to get my customizations to work?

If the problem persist with plugin activation, you need to go in Plugins and delete the current theme plugins, after that please go in Newspaper > Plugins and update and activate the plugins from there -> https://www.screencast.com/t/AxzxIUxMgGS
