Hi,
That was an important update for the theme. There were changes to the file structure, as most of the theme files were moved in the composer plugin. Now the tagDiv composer has to be active at all times in order to maintain the same functionality. There won’t even be a theme panel without the composer active.
All the theme panel settings, custom codes, ad codes entered in the theme panel are saved in the database of the website, they will be there after updating.
We recommend where possible to test the update from older theme versions (pre 9.7) to the latest version, in a development environment, like a copy of the website. This way it is safer, to see what happens and identify possible issues. There are duplicator plugins that can create a copy of the website.
If you use a child theme, this will have to be remade using the child theme provided in the latest theme package

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Thank you!
this is sooo confusing, i am stuck at this problem too
which single.php file i have to copy to the child theme ?
whatever files i copy they are all ignored !
Hi,
The child theme is still in the full theme package, /code folder same as before
– https://prnt.sc/olyrwp
It’s capabilities have been improved in the latest 9.8 update. Are you having problems using the child theme? Please mention some more details about it, so we can investigate.
Let us know.
Thanks
Why does Newspaper not have Child theme? Every update erase modifications in present theme.
Hi,
Indeed the problem seams to be on the ajax, I checked on may install and this is working normally; please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict with untested plugins, please deactivate all non theme, also if you are using child theme, clear all cache and try again.
If the problem persist you can make a theme update to the last version, but please make first a full backup.
Let me know the results!
Thank you!
Hi,
Indeed we do not recommend the child theme, but if you want you can use it, but just make sure that you have the last version of the theme ( v.9.7.4) -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Also all the settings and code you set in the Theme panel will not be lost if you make a theme update, because all the settings and codes are saved in database on local in theme files, when you make the theme update only the theme files will be change.
Hope this will help you, let me know if you have more questions!
Thanks.
Hi,
This is not just a simple code, I think that will be better to set this code in functions.php and would be preferable to set it in a child theme, in this way you’ll not lose the code when you’ll make a theme update ( also make sure hat you have the last version of the theme, v9.7.4).

Hello,
I’m new to the Newspaper theme, so I just want to get something straight in my head. With respect to child themes, it’s clear that you don’t really recommend using them, but I just want to check if any custom code (css, etc) added via the Newspaper Theme Panel, will be deleted when the theme updates? Can someone please advise?
Many thanks!
Hi,
The count of the comments from the authors list show the comments that this author was written; also I’ve check the author name link and this is working normal, please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict.
If you want to customize the td_block_authors.php in child theme you’ll need to do it according to our guide https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ the author files is in wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/includes/shortcodes/td_block_authors.php, in child theme you need to make two sub-folders http://prntscr.com/oldziv and set there the file.
Thank you!
Hi,
That could be done in two ways. The first one and how it should be done, is to use a cloud header template – https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Headers
Import one and modify it or create your own, these can be built with the composer so you can add as many header logos as you want – http://prntscr.com/old9vi each with their own image and URL. Here is a guide for the cloud library plugin
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
The second one would be to edit the default header template files, these are supposed to display only one logo. They can be modified in a child theme (after the 9.7.4 update) so you can copy the one you want and modify it.
For example header style 1, copy it from here – http://prntscr.com/olddbm
To here – http://prntscr.com/olde07
Then you can modify it to display another logo, something simple would work but it depends on the header used
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/can-i-put-an-additional-linked-image-next-to-the-header-logo/
Additional CSS may be required in order to make this display and work correctly.
Thanks
Hi,
I believe the players can be found here – http://prntscr.com/olcy6j
The row elements code is here – http://prntscr.com/olcyqz
While the row shortcode can be modified in a child theme, files from the “common” folder in the composer plugin cannot. Maybe this will chnage in the future, can’t say for sure.
Thanks
Hi,
Please notice that the Newspaper v9.7.4 is the last version of the theme in order to install it you’ll need to deactivate all plugins and activate theme back only after the update is made, also if you have a child theme, you’ll need to use the one from the last package -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict with untested plugins, please deactivate all non theme, also if you are using child theme, clear all cache and try again.
Thank you!

Regarding the issue, note that if you are using the old API plugin will not work anymore. You can use the new creative plugin for this purpose – https://forum.tagdiv.com/developer-info/
Thank you!
Hi,
Depends on the type of post template used. If for example you use a cloud post template
– https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Single
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/
Then you can simply drag and drop the author box element in the location you want, like below the post content element – http://prntscr.com/olbj5h
These cloud templates can be edited with the composer – https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/ so it is easier to customize them.
On the other hand, if you use a default post template – https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-default-templates/
Then you could copy the template in the child theme and customize it (this is possible starting from theme update 9.7.4).
For example if you want to do this for post template 2, copy it in the child theme from the composer plugin (create the same directory path to the files as in the composer then copy both the single and loop-single)
– http://prntscr.com/olbksx -> http://prntscr.com/olbl5h
Then move the author box code below the content code and it should appear as you want.
Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
I want to build a author page, where all our authors will be visible.
The list provided by your theme is not informative. I think for a “Newspaper” theme more information should be offered here. I’ll miss the User Description, the Count of the Comments seems to be buggy and the Author-Name Link didn’t work. Maybe is it possible to show the authors last article(s)?
How can i customize the author-list using a child-theme?
Hi Vlad,
a custom template is not an option as we have used many different design templates already and don’t wish to lose that customization.
Is there a file that I can copy and paste in my child theme and then add the needed code?
Thanks!
p.s. We are using an older version of the theme and installing the library plugin wasn’t possible.
Hello !
Since you have a tone of option in the new versions you can achieve everything you want only by Theme panel options. Since 9.7.4 you can use the fully capacity of child theme. But if there will be a future update where we are obligated to change the files structure then you will have to redo all the modifications. But those are rare cases.
So if you can, you can stick only to the basic theme. If you really need then you can use child theme freely.
You can now find out more here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thank you !
Hi,
I’ve made some tests and this is working properly -> http://prntscr.com/okbope and http://prntscr.com/okbpau -> http://prntscr.com/okbp1p -> http://prntscr.com/okbnwj results -> http://prntscr.com/okbocn
Just please make sure that you have the last version of the theme ( Newspaper v9.7.4 ) and you are using the child theme that comes with this package.
Let me know the results!
Thank you!
I read the documentation for “Child theme support,” which lists the following:
– Please note that most of the child theme modifications are no longer required as the Cloud Library plugin allows you to create templates for posts, categories, tags, archives, 404 pages, author templates, search templates,etc.
– A child theme is not update proof. The files you add to your child theme will have to be replaced if they have been modified by a theme update.
Does this mean that Child themes are actually not recommended? The current Child Theme installed on my website is “Newspaper 7 Child theme,” and after installing Newspaper Version 9.7.4, trying to activate the Child Theme instead of the main theme results in a lot of problems.
Should I just stick with the main theme and ignore a Child theme moving forward, or should I install the new Child theme for the current theme?
Good morning tagDiv. I’m writing you about the use of the child theme. I need to edit the single.php and the loop-single.php.
I have already written you on ThemeForest:
—
Good morning. It is possible to edit the default single.php? I read this tutorial https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ and it works for single-template-x.php and loop-single-x.php but I don’t understand how to edit the default single and loop-single. Can you help me, please?
—
So you mean the default post template. After the latest theme update it is possible. The child theme has been improved. Copy both the single and loop-single files from the td-composer/legacy/Newspaper folder. Then make a small modification in the single.php file you have copied in the child theme https://prnt.sc/ogo38l It should work fine.

Hi, thank you for reply me. It doesn’t work. Here you can view my edited single.php https://www.dropbox.com/s/l7ci14wctq4zi3o/single.php?dl=0

Hello !
This issue is only on default using child theme. Here is the fix:
Go into tagDiv Composer plugin – Legacy – Newspaper and copy the single.php file into your newspaper child theme root folder: https://www.screencast.com/t/Zhehhx05aY
