Hi,
@garyjones, sorry for the inconvenience, but this is not by choice, unfortunately. The theme has to be in accordance with the new Envato rules -> https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000472383-WordPress-Theme-Requirements, so these modifications were necessary. Moving the files into the composer plugin has consequences for the child theme as well. Maybe a solution will be found, we will make a guide if that will be the case. I can’t say what will happen at the moment, our developers will try to find the best solution. The cloud templates don’t have PHP or code files, they must be built/edited in the composer. You can work on them with the composer in the front end.
@knaggsy, I’m sorry about that but please notice that all of the Envato themes will follow and integrate these changes. As a remark, the deadline for this implementing will be until the final of May. If you want, you can provide some examples of themes which are Envato compliant and also, which were integrated these changes.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello,
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.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for understanding.
Some users said it is possible to modify plugin files more safely, something like a child theme functionality. We will try to find a solution for this in the future, and create documentation for it.
So currently the solution would be to either modify the file in the plugin directly, or use the default post template which can still be copied and modified in a child theme
– http://prntscr.com/njftfz
Or reconsider using a cloud template and shortcode as mentioned above.
Hi,
That should be loaded in the header I believe, between the head tags
– http://prntscr.com/njeuqa – https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9008080?hl=en
So if you enter the meta tag there it should be then loaded.
Try entering it again (you can use a child theme if you have one)
– http://prntscr.com/njevow
Then check in the page source (Ctrl+U) and it should be there – http://prntscr.com/njew6k
They don’t specify how long this will take, so you could wait for a while.
Thanks
Hi,
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.
Please delete the current version of Newspaper that you have and download again from themefores the newspaper and reinstall it.
Please make sure that you make the update like in our guide -> https://tagdiv.com/update-newspaper-theme/
If there is still a problem please provide some more details and some screenshots.
This should solve the problem with wp-admin.
Thank you!

Hi,
Many of the theme files are now in the tagDiv composer plugin, including the header template files. This has happened after the 9.7 update, here is an article about it
– https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
So now the header files are here – http://prntscr.com/njd2d3
This also means these files can’t be modified in a child theme anymore, as it was possible before, only directly in the plugin.
Maybe you could use the header builder and a cloud header template to do what is needed. The header can now be built with the tagDiv composer
– https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-customize-the-header-manager/
There are headers built by us that you can modify and use, or build your own using the header builder elements – http://prntscr.com/nfnapk
– https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Headers
So adding a block in the header would be a matter of drag and drop. You could experiment with these cloud header templates, maybe it is possible to do what you want using them. Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks

Hi.
I have just updated to 9.7 and noticed that the code structure is different. I have put some additional code in the themes/Newspaper-child/includes/modules/td_module_related_posts.php which I follow the same location as parent theme, but now its not there anymore
Pls advise where the code file for the related post area?
Hi there,
I updated my Newsmag theme for the latest version (4.8), but when I active its child theme I getting a full black page.
Anybody could help me?
Tks.
Sorry for the delay in reply! So I tried this…checked the source code and it’s showing my changes, but when I hit the search button or hit enter, it’s still searching WordPress. It’s very strange, it’s the same code i used before except I’m changing the core theme plugin files vs the child theme. I changed header-menu.php, header-menu-h1.php, header-menu-h2.php, and header-menu-2.php and nothing changes.

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.
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.
Hi,
Please make sure that all the settings are like in our requirements, please follow the guide carefully
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
and please increase all requirements that are lower, and follow all steps.
WP_MEMORY_LIMIT try to increase it at least to 256mb.
Also please check the php version to be 7-7.2
When tagDiv Composer is not working -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-not-working/
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.
If there are still a problem please remove the theme and reinstall the theme via FTP.
Let me know how is works!
Thank you!
Hi,
From what I can see having the ACF plugin removes the other custom fields, deactivating it will restore them.
I found a code that can be entered in the theme or child theme functions file, this will (at least in my case it does) enable the default custom fields regardless of ACF being active
– https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-custom-fields-not-showing-in-wordpress/
– https://www.screencast.com/t/IGAEYLobqEp
– https://www.screencast.com/t/1so9f3vj
You could give that a try, should work.
Thank you!
Hi,
The theme doesn’t have a stylesheet for the printed version. However you could add some CSS either in the main theme or child theme stylesheet. So for example to remove the footer Instagram (if this is what you are referring to) from the printed version the code would be like so
@media print {
/* Printer specific styles go here */
.td-footer-instagram-container {
display: none;
}
}
Add it in the main or child theme stylesheet. You can add more CSS to it, if needed.
Thanks
This is not WP best practices and all my other Themes from themeforest have also been updated Envato compliant with no issues to the Child Theme.
This seriously inhibits my ability to customise my site if I update to 9.7.1 If I do not update and keep my customised functions I risk security and future functionality and customisation from the Theme authors.

For anyone else looking for the same function, and I have seen quite a few people ask for this, here is how I solved it.
It is a workaround, and if someone can offer an improvement on this solution, please paste your code below.
Copy td_data_source.php from the parent theme and paste to:
/wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/includes/wp_booster/td_data_source.php
I decided I am probably never going to use the Sort Alphabetically option for my td composer widgets. So, I updated the args array for Sort Alphabetical to suit my purposes.
Comment out the normal alphabetical order and use the new code below.
// case ‘alphabetical_order’:
// $wp_query_args[‘orderby’] = ‘title’;
// $wp_query_args[‘order’] = ‘ASC’;
// break;
case ‘alphabetical_order’: //Limit to last 10 days
$wp_query_args[‘date_query’] = array(
‘after’ => date(‘Y-m-d’, strtotime(‘-10 days’))
);
break;
@ the theme developers: Please can this can go on the wishlist and be included in a future version.
The amount of days should be a selectable field in the widget option.

I am confused about the new Envato-compliant version of Newspaper 9.7.2 and the use of child themes.
I have modified module 8 and the corresponding CSS in the version prior to you releasing this update. Where does my modified module now sit in terms if a child theme, as the related block/module includes has moved to a “legacy” folder within wp-content>plugins etc.
This seems to me that I cannot create a child and my customised block will be overwritten each time there is an update.
Is this the case? If so, how do you recommend getting around this?
Thanks
Best
Gary
