Hello !
You will have to edit the functions.php in child theme and change from 1001 to 11 and it should work: https://image.prntscr.com/image/LJgOPaseQeWx88hn-pSKGQ.png
Thank you !
Hi,
This can be a plugin conflict, 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.
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.
Thank you!
Hello,

Hello !
First try to edit the functions.php from 1001 to 11 and it should work: https://image.prntscr.com/image/LJgOPaseQeWx88hn-pSKGQ.png
You can use the Newspaper v9.6 as long you want, unfortunately from Newspaper v9.7 the child theme support only the style.css file and functions.php, I can’t say that this will still be an option in the future.
Thank you !

If u use a Child theme, then look at the the functions.php
<?php
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Newspaper V9.0+ Child theme - Please do not use this child theme with older versions of Newspaper Theme
What can be overwritten via the child theme:
- everything from /parts folder
- all the loops (loop.php loop-single-1.php) etc
- please read the child theme documentation: http://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
- the rest of the theme has to be modified via the theme api:
http://forum.tagdiv.com/the-theme-api/
*/
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
add the parent style + style.css from this folder
*/
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles', 11);
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style('td-theme', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', '', TD_THEME_VERSION, 'all' );
wp_enqueue_style('td-theme-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array('td-theme'), TD_THEME_VERSION . 'c', 'all' );
}Look at the number at line 22: and change 1001 to to 11
only if u use the new version of Theme
As the title says, I installed the new version 9.7.3 (also updated all plugins – tagdiv), but noticed that my child theme doesn’t work properly anymore. I just edited functions.php and style.css and added some of my own functions to functions.php that I already removed and tested – no improvement. So my question is, what can I do in this case to make the child theme work properly again, like in version 9.7.2. Before 9.7.3 everything was fine. Funnily enough, the content is interpreted correctly when I use the main theme.
The code from the Page Builder is interpreted, but the arrangement and display is completely distorted or elements are not displayed or positioned correctly.
Many thanks in advance for the possible help!
Greetings

I solved by changing in functions.php of my child theme at line 16:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles', 1001);
with:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles', 11);
In case anyone stumbles onto this… There is no way to customize without risking changes being overwritten when TD pushes updates.

So does this mean that you have to edit the core plugin files directly!? I have made changes to the footer and various part of site through child theme template customizations, how are these suppose to be added now without editing the core plugin files?
Example. I have a child theme and have
childtheme/parts/footer/td_footer_template_14.php
I have added an above footer widget area to this file, and now this is gone. How would I re-add this functionality?

That does not help at all. What happens when you update the TD Composer plugin? All of the updates that were done to those would be replaced.
This is NOT going to work for continuous development using the Newspaper theme.
There are ways to incorporate locate_template() within a plugin so that you can still maintain the functionality of overriding core templates.
This is not an inconvenience this is a DEAL BREAKER for utilizing this theme going forward with new clients, the flexibility and customization of this theme just went from 90% down to 0%.

Hi,
The Newspaper 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 9.7.2 version, you’ll need to activate the tagDiv Composer to keep the Newspaper 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 though, because you cannot edit with WP Baker blocks and shortcodes created with tagDiv Composer or vice-versa. Regarding your customizations, if you have made and have affected some of the theme core files when you will make the theme update, all of these files will be overwritten. You need to make a full backup and then, all these customizations should have to be implemented again to the core files.
Thank you!
AvatarMatt Pramschufer May 14, 2019 at 9:19 pm
Catalin,
Your response has nothing to do with the issue I proposed. I did not say anything about WP Bakery.
The theme has no hooks at all to implement customizations on a plugin level, and now the functionality of customizing page/post templates has been removed without introducing a new method to make those customizations.
Your answer of just “hack the core files” is absurd. You can not really believe that your customers are going to think this “cowboy coding” way is going to fly in 2019?
Is there someone on your development team or someone higher up that you could connect me to?
I have built out over 20 media publications using the Newspaper theme, all of which have customizations. If I make changes to the TD Composer plugin and you push out an update, it is only a matter of time before all of those customizations are lost.

Hi,
Sorry for the inconvenience! In your case, if this update will affect your websites, the best solution is to keep the old theme version (9.1) for them. This can be downloaded from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/important-new-update-newspaper-9-7/ Please notice that we try doing our best and where we find a way for this case, we will make an update with this, sorry! At the moment, there is no such thing, sorry!
Thank you!

Hi,
Indeed, in Newspaper v9.7 the only files that can be set in child theme are functions.php and style.css , but the most parts of customization can be made now using tagDiv Composer and elements from tagDiv Cloud Library, the changes make on modules/blocks can be achieve using flex blocks , in your case you can set a footer page made by you or form cloud with all the elements/widgets you need ->https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
Thank you for your understanding!

What you can do is to make pages using flex blocks in this way you can achieve what you make in child theme (
and is no more need to use child theme ), because flex blocks have more options and customization.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for understanding.
Thanks Simion.
Just found out.
Is there a way that I modify this without core modifications?
Via child theme functions.php file?
Or any other adviseable way?
Hi,
If you are using the child theme for your customization and you make some changes in other file then style.css or functions.php then in Newspaper v9.7 these will not longer work -> https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
If your customization are made only in theme panel, those will not be lost.

Regarding on TD Composer, please notice this the main required plugin of our theme and it has to be enabled if you want to have the all theme functionality. If you do not like it, you can also install the WP Backey and keep both to be enabled.
