I am using a child theme, but only the functions.php file.

Hi Bogdan,

Thanks for your reply.
We have modified functions.php & style sheet of the child theme(folder) in version 6.7 and added some new files in the child theme. So is it okay to take the backup of modified files(functions.php & style sheet) and newly created files and update the theme to the new version and again add the customisation of functions.php & style sheet of the child theme(folder) and add newly created files? If we do like this will our site work as is or any issues arise?

Thanks
Abburi

Bogdan,

I managed to fix my css issues, by removing functions.php and using

@import (../Newspaper/style.css)

.. in my child theme’s style.css. I then reloaded the theme and now my custom css is working. I still don’t know what the problem was.

Thank you for the tip, I will definitely try using live css to test from here on out.

Hi, Brian here.

Yes the site works with vanilla 7.3 and the sidebar is fine.

However: I’m trying to get a child theme working and every time I turn the child theme on the homepage messes up and the sidebar disappears.

Here’s what I’ve done:

Folder called: Newspaper-7_3-IC-Child
style.css
/*
Theme Name: Newspaper 7.3 Israellycool Child Theme
Theme URI: https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609?s_rank=1
Description: Newspaper 7.3 Israellycool Child Theme
Author: Brian of London
Author URI: http://www.israellycool.com
Template: Newspaper
Version: 7.3 [corresponds to theme version 7.3]
*/

functions.php
<?php
// Added by Brian of London BoL 2016-07-20
// Updated 2016-08-18 to try to rework after 7.3
// switched from old method of child theme loading
// "Note that the previous method was to import the parent theme stylesheet using @import:
// this is no longer best practice, as it increases the amount of time it takes style sheets to load. "
//
//

wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array( $parent_style ),
wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
?>

That’s it, no other changes made yet (I’ve got a screenshot.png file in the folder too).

As soon as I select that child the sidebar suddenly jumps to the bottom of the page, before the footer.

Thanks.
You might want to add that i should use a childtheme for this?
Or can this be added using a php snippet using a plugin that add stuff to functions.php

With my fingers crossed and backups in place I did the upgrade. And you’re right that it’s fairly simple to do. But since we have over a dozen of bulky plugins I always get cold sweat with updates like these.

What I do by the way, is simply rename the (folder) new version to Newsmag_3_1 and upload it next to the previous versions. I don’t see a reason why that should’t work, is it? And then I update our child theme accordingly. (CSS & functions.php).

I had an issue where all my social sharing buttons disappeared and other weirdness.

I had to copy the images directory into the child theme.

I also updated the style.css from the new child theme.

I don’t think the change long had any changes to functions.php or header.php.

Excellent. Good to learn.

Final question:
when changing this in the parent-theme files it is not update safe.

Can I overwrite that function in my child-theme functions.php?


if ( ! function_exists( 'get_item_scope' ) ) :
function get_item_scope() {
//show the review meta only on single posts that are reviews, the rest have to be article (in article lists)
// if ($this->is_review && is_single()) {
// return 'itemscope itemtype="' . td_global::$http_or_https . '://schema.org/Review"';
// } else {
// return 'itemscope itemtype="' . td_global::$http_or_https . '://schema.org/Article"';
}

I’m sorry but I don’t get your reply, do you mean that I can only wait that the css cache expries on users’ browser?

To be clear, my problem now is that some users see the theme like this (screen taken from another website here, perfectly showing my issue).
Again, not using any CDN or cache plugin.

What if I make the following change to the functions php files in the child theme?… I mean, change 2.0c to 3.0…. Please note that this is my full functions.php in the child theme.

NOW

<?php
/*  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Newsmag 2.0 Child theme - Please do not use this child theme with older versions of Newsmag Theme

    What can be overwritten via the child theme:
		- please read the child theme documentation https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/

 */

/*  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Here we add the parent style and the style.css from the child theme folder
 */
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles', 1000);
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style('td-theme', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', '', '2.0c', 'all' );
    wp_enqueue_style('td-theme-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array('td-theme'), '2.0c', 'all' );

}

NEW

<?php
/*  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Newsmag 2.0 Child theme - Please do not use this child theme with older versions of Newsmag Theme

    What can be overwritten via the child theme:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles', 1000);
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style('td-theme', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', '', '3.0', 'all' );
    wp_enqueue_style('td-theme-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array('td-theme'), '3.0', 'all' );

}

Could this solve my problem?

Hi, I edited the file indicated in one, but in the newspaper theme. I added the edited file to newspaper-child/includes/modules, and I have functions.php and styles.css included in the newspaper-child root folder.
Nevertheless, the social buttons still appear when I open an article. Should I perform an extra step to ‘activate’ the child theme, or do I have to edit different files in Newspaper?
