So, I’m learning about child themes. I’ve read through this:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Either it’s very incomplete or I’m missing something.
All other tutorials I’ve read talk about create a stylesheet first:
https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/01/create-customize-wordpress-child-theme/
https://optimizerwp.com/wordpress-child-theme/
..Do I not need to create this stylesheet with Newspaper?
Can I use one of those child theme creator plugins?
Thanks
Hello,
I just discovered the beauties of your cloud templates, there is one that fits my needs better than the default one but I cannot set it up as the demo. The one I choose is “404 template 11” and I would like to have it full screen, the image covering from left to right and no header and footer.
Inspecting the css so far I managed to hide the header adding this css code to the child-theme css stylesheet:
.error404 .td-header-wrap {
display: none;
}
Thanks.
For some reason, I can’t get this working.
I’m using this code:
<div class="td-module-meta-info">
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author();?>
<?php echo the_modified_date('l, F j, Y', '<div class="the-modified-date">LAST MODIFIED: ','</div>'); ?> >
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_views();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_comments();?>
</div>
I’m updating “single_template_12.php” because the code doesn’t appear in “loop_single_12.php” –> https://i.imgur.com/yZhXCqZ.png
Here you can see I’m using post template style 12 –> https://i.imgur.com/R5xbNED.png
My website is https://www.InterestingAnswers.com
Once I can get this working, I’ll work on understanding child themes and getting it working there. But for now, I just want to make sure I can get it working this way and not introduce more failure points.
What am I missing?
Thanks
I just bought this Newspaper theme for updating of a site that has previously been using a different theme. This Newspaper seems really good. But I have a problem with the date format.
I need to format the date for Chinese like Y年m月d日 and I need that show in all the post meta — on the single.php, on the frontpage, on the archives, search, etc.
That is the normal and usual way to format dates in Chinese.
I cannot alter the date in General > Settings because that change affects negatively other things, especially syndication and RSS feed date specifications. You see, if you alter the date format in General > Settings, things may look nice on WordPress frontend, but you will face problems with synchronization and validation if you are syndicating content especially via ATOM or RSS to other sites that require the date in an acceptable format.
So that’s why I cannot alter the date format in General > Settings, and why I would rather be able to change it at the Theme level. It seems like Newspaper lacks this ability and the only way would be to one-by-one create separate child theme files for single.php, page.php, search.php, etc. to manipulate the date format on those areas. But this is not really a great solution. A better solution would be to change the date at the Theme level.
Is there any possibility that this could happen with Newspaper? Any method to add a function? Other themes I’ve used for other projects sometimes have a date format field to change it within the theme only.
I am using bbpress for the Forum on my site and have been doing some small changes by copying the bbpress.php from the Newspaper-theme folder into my Child-theme folder.
Now, however, I would like to make changes to some of the actual plugin-files off the bbpress-plugin (located in plugins/bbpress…/).
How do I create a correct folder structure within my child-theme for these folders to be effected and overided by the child-theme settings?
Have tried Newspaper-child/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress. However this does not seem to work.
Thankfull for any help!
Thanks for that. I just want to be clear before I look to making changes. I’ll look into child themes after I see that I get it working at all.
I use blog and post template 12: https://i.imgur.com/G0wxURL.png
Based on that, which should I be updating?
Hello Simion,
thank you for your info.
A last a question/doubt please: i haven’t a child theme on my website. If i update the theme to version 9.0.1 and then i upload the old files that i have changed (to rewrite some css and php new files with my actually files), you think all will go well?
Thank you very much,
Francesco
Hello COutpost,
You can try using the Child Theme set up according to our documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
1. That would depend on the header style you use
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/logo-favicon/
For example header styles 9, 10 and 11 will allow any image size you want, no limits there.
If you already use one of these but the logo is small, make sure you upload it in full size
– https://www.screencast.com/t/graHsimAEo
– https://www.screencast.com/t/HsOr4LblR
2. The tagDiv composer can also be used to create post templates, category templates, author templates etc. The cloud library plugin will be required for that
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
So you can’t create actual posts, but can create templates to apply to those posts.
3. If you mean theme files, you should use a child theme. One is provided in the child theme. Not all files are supported to be modified in a child theme however
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks
Dear M,
After enabling caching (WP supercache), I have issues with css not loading in the right order. Result I see first the Main theme color before the child theme style.css stylesheet.
Example: https://www.bitcoinmag.eu/bitcoin-social-media/
Any advise?
Kind regards,
Webagent05
Hi, I need to download the original version 8.0 to see what files was modified directly on the theme by the old webmaster.
I can’t update to the last version, 9.0.1, without a child theme with that modified files and the unique way to detect it is get a fresh copy of that version.
How and where can I get it?
Kind regards.
Hi,
You can try to use Child Theme for that file and check the results.
Thanks.
I did read it. I was asking for clarification. I will do more research on child themes later.
Anyways can you please answer these 2 questions?
Does this php file:
https://i.imgur.com/2GEVzAw.png
…correspond to this setting?
https://i.imgur.com/BWH5lFA.png
I’m nearly 100% certain it does, however, the code that I’m supposed to be looking for it doesn’t appear there.
AND
So, which one does the code go in?
The post says to put it in loop but that code isn’t in loop.
Is it possible to copy the tag php file from the main theme into the child?
Hi,
I am using Child Theme, but It is happening in default theme also.
I am using google chrome, but It is happening in Safari and Opera also.
I am not using demo.
the Errors are as like images, but those belong to my internet speed as I am using VPN in China. BUT, I’ve TESTED WITHOUT VPN also, AGAIN it is happening.
Each time, I’ve deleted the cache in dashboard and browser for the test.

Hello Brain916,
Yes, this will be the behavior! You can try using the Child Theme if you want to keep this setting. Check the child theme documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
That’s unusual. What are those errors in the inspector console, it says there are 8 errors?
– https://www.screencast.com/t/kXbJl68A8IVh
What browser are you using, could you make a quick test with a different browser?
Also do you have a demo installed? Or maybe do you use a child theme?
The design seems broken and also different when comparing my result with yours. Like it is not loaded.
Could you also make a quick test with a default theme and buddypress pages?
Hello Yon,
You should not use the child theme, sorry! You have to create a Category Template from Cloud Template and add through it that block template. Please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Ryansmccain,
Do you have read carefully the above documentation? What exactly do you want to achieve? You should replicate core file you want to add into your child theme according to our documentation. Also, if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this case, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom services at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
I read it and I’m still a bit confused.
So the folder newsmag-child is a very specific folder? That signifies to the template that the themes in there are child themes?
Also,
Does this php file:
https://i.imgur.com/2GEVzAw.png
…correspond to this setting?
https://i.imgur.com/BWH5lFA.png
AND
So, which one does it go in?
The post says to put it in loop but that code isn’t in loop.
Thx

Hi,
I would like to inject td_block_template_9 into my category pages (just below the top posts grid) which will dynamically generate one block for each sub-category for that category you’re on. Each block should contain the title header of the sub-category and the latest posts of that sub-category. For every 3 sub-category column blocks that get created, a new row should be added.
Can you please advise how I can implement this in the child theme?
Thanks!
Hello tgarmon032071,
Do you are using the latest version of child theme which come bundled with the latest version of theme packet? I have checked your website and it seems that your CSS is not delivered and you have a lot of errors through your console, sorry! Please make a new clean install to another sub-domain for testing, use only the main theme version, remove all of untested plugins if you are using something like this, clear all the caches, purge the CDN files and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
I had to remove the code <span>-</span> from the td module.php in the parent theme to get rid of it. (tried adding the php file to the child theme in the booster folder but that didn’t work)
I couldn’t find where the issue originates from, and it appeared after the last update of the new theme version 9, so to my mind it is likely a theme issue yes.
Hello,
Unfortunately, the child theme has not been tested with the Mobile Theme and does not work, sorry! The Child Theme support can be found here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thanks for your understanding!
