Hi,
Should work fine. I have tested this as well. Please note that there are 2 default post templates, the one that is used when the composer is inactive (can be considered a default post template), and one that is used when the composer is active and can be selected for posts.
I believe you have copied in the child theme, the loop single and single files from the theme – http://prntscr.com/ognr3o
Note that this template is used when the composer is inactive. When the composer is inactive a sidebar cannot be set for posts because there will be no post settings available, so the template is not supposed to display a sidebar since it cannot be set.
If you want to customize the default post template with the composer active, please copy it from the composer/legacy/Newspaper folder
– http://prntscr.com/ogo2la
And make a small modification in the single.php file after you copy in the child theme
– http://prntscr.com/ogo38l
Here is the modified code if needed – https://pastebin.com/uaZqtWjM
Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
I have done it manually and it still doesn’t work. I have also taken the new child theme. Still the sidebar does not show up on single posts and the post format does not consider the settings (no date, no author, etc.)
The last updates of Newspaper are extremely unprofessional. It breaks existing sites, has many bugs and for example the tagDiv Composer plugin has been updated in 9.7.4, but the version number did not change.
I was a big fan of Newspaper theme, but now I am thinking of switching to other themes.
We are also thinking of filing an official complaint with Envato. Selling a theme like this, which cannot be updated in a reasonable way and which has almost no child-theme support is difficult. Also all past positive reviews for the theme are questionable with regard to the current status of the theme.
Hi Vlad,
I had followed the method which in your tutorial via WordPress, delete old theme and install the updated one, then I deleted the child theme, then installed updated child theme which came from updated theme pack.
But I hadn’t done plugins.
So do I have to delete all plugins before I install the updated theme? Is that safe? not losing my settings??
Hello !
We are sorry for your inconvenience !
It is mandatory to delete all what was left from the older version before intalling 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 plugins to be deleted too ?
Also you have to install the new child theme wich is found in the archive that comes with the update.
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 updated 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 !
Hi,
The update has been released. Please use the child theme provided in the 9.7.4 update and it should work fine – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
The post templates that you want to modify can now be copied in the child theme from the composer.
The single files are here in the composer – http://prntscr.com/ogmumy
They can be copied in the child theme (create the same directory path to them)
– http://prntscr.com/ogmvii
As a note, if for example you want to modify post template 2, copy both the single_template_2.php adn the loop-single-2.php in the child theme.
Unfortunately we can’t provide support over the phone, only be forum or email. Let me know if you have more questions and sorry again for the inconvenience.
Hi,
@DaveS There is a way how you could actually remove the product name from the woocommerce breadcrumbs, try this code in the theme or child theme functions file
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_breadcrumb', 'ed_change_breadcrumb' );
function ed_change_breadcrumb( $breadcrumb ) {
if(is_singular()){
array_pop($breadcrumb);
}
return $breadcrumb;
}
Before – http://prntscr.com/ogmbgr and after – http://prntscr.com/ogmbt4
Seems to work for me, I could give you a CSS code as well if needed.
Thanks
Hi,
Please make sure that you have the last version of the theme v9.7.4 and please use the child theme from that package, that should work properly.
Also you can check our documentation for child theme here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Hope this will help you!
Thanks.
Yes, this is a bug in 9.7.4.
When using a child-theme, the default post template is not applied.
Should be fixed urgently!
Thank you, be2name!
I still have a copy of the last version, and the child theme was perfectly working with my site, I’ll reinstall that for now.
Hope they fix it very soon.
Yes, this is a bug in 9.7.4.

Had to downgrade to 9.7.3 (which does have the bug, that individual templates can’t be applied when using a child theme).
So both versions (9.7.3 and 9.7.4) a buggy when using child themes.
Yes, this is a bug in 9.7.4.
When using a child-theme, the default post template is not applied.
Should be fixed urgently!
What would the update process be for updating to this new theme when it comes out?
What would the process be to setup a child template, especially if the original templates don’t exist to clone as children?
Can I be notified the moment this is available, and is there a specific version number I’m looking for?
Again, at this point any amount of waiting is a real concern with significant costs associated, so we need to keep looking into alternative solutions. And I just want to reiterate (as you’ve mentioned it a second time) this is an order of magnitude beyond inconvenience. This blunder has cost us dearly, and continues to do so every hour we are delayed.
Is there someone I can talk to on the phone about this?
Thanks again.
Hi Vlad,
Okay, I am sending you admin details – I have also just upgraded to the latest version – however, all sidebars have disappeared and the updated text is no longer showing. It should have worked perfectly as there were not many files to replace and the site uses a child theme.
Email on the way – please would you also implement that ‘bold’ code as well, as I don’t want to fiddle with the site while it is broken with the sidebars.
Thanks
Vincent
Thanks for your answer,
the actual Update fixed the Problem, that the post template couldn’t be changed, but there is on issue left. The default Template doesn’t appear as expected (see screenshot). The choosen post template in the Arcticle itself is “Panel”. All other templates provided in the site wide post template working correctly. My child-theme doesn’t provide a changed file.
When i deactivate the child theme, the default template shown correctly.
Any suggestions?
Regard,
Robert
I was using a child theme and it was perfectly ok but now it doesn’t show sidebar on the post. I activated theme 9.7.4 and downloaded child theme which came with the same compressed file. I activated the updated child theme which doesn’t show sidebar on the post. Newspaper theme itself is working perfectly, I don’t mind not using the child theme, just I used to use a child theme with another theme.
Is there any problem with not using the child theme?
Regards,
There are no other plugin except the default ones (TagDiv) installed with the theme, so it can’t be a conflict. Anyway i tried to exclude one to one but i didn’t solve my problem.
With child theme active i can’t change layoute of pages and it’very strange.
In the “Post setting” area the selection of layout in the “Post template” area does not work.
I change template but the page in frontend does not change.
Why? It’s a big problem i can’t start develop my site.
Can you help me please?
Hi,
We are very sorry for this inconvenience, it was a decision made at the time in order to comply to the Envato specifications. Now we will improve the child theme support.
Please note that the theme update is in it’s final testing phase, when this is over it will be released. Should be this week, or early next week.
So it will be possible to customize the single templates in a child theme after this update, also header templates, footer templates, category templates etc. Hopefully you will then be able to achieve what is required for the website.
Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately, since Newspaper v9.7 the child theme is working only for the functions.php and style.css files.
Also make sure that there is Is no plugin conflict between the child and plugins.
We wrote an article on the subject here: https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
if you want and you need the child, you can try the implementation for the child theme provide by an user in this topic -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/issue-with-9-7-update-changes-single_template_-in-child-theme/
Also there will be very soon an update that will make the child theme to work properly.
Thank you!
I digested all that and found an easier way. I created a file editor-style.css in my child theme folder and put this in it.
html .mceContentBody-max-width-big {
background: none !important;
}
html .mceContentBody:after {
content: none !important;
}
html .mceContentBody {
max-width: 100%;
}
html .mceContentBody {
background: none !important;
}
That did the job and should survive upgrades too!
I updated my newsmag on my website to 4.9 with child theme on wordpress 5.2.2 and php 7.0. Now I can’t save anything when I make changes to the Theme Panel. When I click Save Settings it keeps running without saving. Have anyone run into this issue and found a fix?
I have been fumbling around for almost 2 days trying to find a simple way to change the content of my footer
I am using Newsmag Child Theme
Can’t seem to insert a screenshot of it here but domain url is completemotorbiking.com
I have managed to change the detail in the first column but cannot for the life of me find a way to alter the other two columns
I really like the template but feel I may have wasted my money if it proves too difficult to make what I feel should be simple changes
Dear support,
i installed Newspaper theme in my new wordpress site and i imported “Fast news” demo.
I want to use child theme and so i installed the one i found in the theme package.
There i s a problem with layout of single post: with child theme ther is a different sidebar and with a different header style and i can’t understand why.
If you want to check it you have to set yuor file .host as it:
34.90.157.27 http://www.donne.it donne.it
Comapre this page: http://donne.it/2019/07/16/boxtrade-lands-50-million-in-another-new-funding-round-with-ibm/
with this one (as my NONchidl installation): https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_fast/2018/08/16/td-post-boxtrade-lands-50-million-in-another-new-funding-round-with-ibm/
I wait for your answer.
Thank in advance.

Hi,
In order to hide the comments and author image from the author page and authors elements you can use this custom css
-> https://www.screencast.com/t/HADMeu3pIp
-> https://www.screencast.com/t/Gwdoae5Eqi
.td_top_authors img,
.td_block_authors .td-author-comments-count,
.author .td-author-counters span:last-child { display:none; }
.td_top_authors .item-details {
margin-left: 0;
}
You’ll need to set the code in the Theme panel>Custom code> Custom css
Unfortunately for the moment this is the only filter alphabetical that you can apply using our theme, I think that in the coming updates there will be some more options for sort and filter.
Thank you!
Hi,
Currently that is not possible in 9.7.3. After the 9.7 update most of the theme files were moved in the composer plugin – https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
The single files are now there – http://prntscr.com/ofn79q
We will however provide the same child theme capability despite the files being in the plugin, in the coming theme update. So in the next theme update the single files can be copied and customized in the child theme.
We are sorry for the inconvenience. Please let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks
