For the record to help future visitors here: the issue with my configuration is that the child theme of Newspaper *must* be named Newspaper-child for this plugin to work when you are using a child theme.
Hello,
Not all of the files will work from the child theme. The only files that work from the child theme are mentioned here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thank you!
Then something else is causing the issue. Deactivate all plugins except theme plugins as a quick test, clear all caching installed and CDN files if used. If you use a child theme, switch to the main theme. Remove any custom code in the theme panel temporarily, do not enter code in the theme files directly.
Try these suggestions and check the results. If there is still a problem, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login information. We will take a look. Also paste a link to this topic in the email.
Thanks
Autoptimize
Lazy Load
Image Size Limit
Smush
WP-Optimize
These all affect images.
Please disable all plugins except the page builder, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
Thank you!
Hello Prajwal Desai,
2)Please notice that if you want to make some additional customizations to your theme style, all of these should have to be made in Child Theme, style.css to avoid losing all of your customizations to the next theme’s update. For each update, the theme code will be overwritten and that’s why you will lose all of your additional customizations.
3,4)You should try the code below and place it in Theme panel -> Custom CSS area.
The code is ->
.wpb_text_column .td_quote_box{
background-color: red;
}
The result is here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/EVB6HnlPff
5)Sorry but please notice that we do not have any plan for this feature, sorry!
6)Sorry, but please notice that the theme does not have any such an option that allows you to do this, sorry! The theme does not have any control to this section…you should use such a plugin with this functionality that allows you to manage this section, like Seo Yoast.
Thanks for your understanding!
these replacements should be done in the child theme? or you can change in the main?
Hi,
Yes that is the case, enter the CSS code in the theme panel and it will be saved in the database.
I don’t exactly now how you implemented that ad above the article title. If you made modifications to the post templates directly or any main them files, and inserted the ad code there, then the modifications will be lost after a theme update.
In this case you can create a child theme, and modify the post templates or supported theme files through it

Thanks
Hi,
So the error is present when activating the child theme from what I understand. A default child theme should not cause such issues, it does not contain any code that can cause this.
Please try again, use the child theme provided in the theme package, do not enter any code in it initially. Activate it and check if the error is still happening, it should not. Code you are entering in the child theme might cause the problem, test with a default child theme

Hi,
Seems to work from what I can see, regardless of the errors. The are some issues with an element from the child theme
– https://www.screencast.com/t/nGSD3cNJ2W
And also it seems to detect there are two elements with the same ID
– https://www.screencast.com/t/TKjUOwkuLr
Maybe the same ID is used in the custom code, you could take a look at the code if possible.
We have not made any tests with that feature, I have no idea how it works or what the solutions would be for a perfect compatibility. It may be needed to modify either the theme or the custom code, but I cannot say what unfortunately.
Thanks
Hi,
Indeed the modifications can be made through a child theme, this is a guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
These will not be lost when the theme is updated.
Thanks
I have a fatal [Sat Jan 27 15:19:39.279740 2018] [:error] [pid 25500] [client 104.196.118.37:57392] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _check_isactive_widgets() (previously declared in /nas/content/live/feline13/wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/functions.php:30) in /nas/content/live/feline13/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/functions.php on line 208, referer: http://purrview.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1517066378.8447420597076416015625
I asked WpEngine to try and resolve but they said it was in the child theme folder. I also tried uploading child theme via ftp and via theme upload.
It basically makes my site disappear and gives me a 500 error, Any advice I would really like to use your theme and I need a child theme so I don’t lose all my customizations when you update the core theme.
.
ps one thread said to update the main theme and then use the child theme, isn’t that backwards? don’t you mean update and customize the child theme so we don’t loose our customizations when you update the core theme?
Thanks, Tonia
Thanks for your answer.
Am I right in assuming that editing the code in the child theme should keep any changes in case of an update?
Hello,
I can’t understand what exactly is the problem. You mentioned a child with glasses. There is no child with glasses in the screen you posted now. I want to help but I cannot understand the problem. Please provide a full description of exactly what it is you are facing.
Switching to a wp default theme and back, will have no impact on your install.
Hello,
Most people change the name of the theme and the child theme to their own . Please revert the names of the theme and child theme to their original names as the multi-purpose plugin does not recognize other theme names.
Thank you!
That file cannot be modified through the child theme, according to the guide
– https://www.screencast.com/t/RHHJFsETYXi
The only way would be to make the modification in the theme file directly. You could update the theme by patch, while checking if the respective file was modified in any when an update is released.
Each theme package will contain a patch folder

Hello,
This could be a plugin conflict so please disable all plugins except the page builder, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
Thank you!
If you’re using the child theme, swap to the parent to make changes. You should be able to save, then switch back to the child theme.
If you’re not using a child theme, check your file permissions.
I’m in the process of modifying bbpress by using style.css within my child theme folder.
My issue is that style-bbpress.css already has values with !important, making my changes in style.css that require !important invalid and not recognised.
I’d rather not edit style.bbpress.css specifically as I don’t like the idea of it being lost when updates rollout.
Any advice would be appreciated on how to go about this.
Thanks
Hi,
Thank You,
but it is to dificult.
Maybe I will try it later. In use is the Theme without child.
Hi,
Found the solution, I have to changed this code is td_module.php.
function get_author() {
$buffy = '';
if ($this->is_review === false or td_util::get_option('tds_m_show_review') == 'hide') {
if (td_util::get_option('tds_m_show_author_name') != 'hide') {
$author_alias = get_post_meta($this->post->ID, 'author_alias', true);
$author_name = !empty($author_alias)? $author_alias : get_the_author_meta('display_name', $this->post->post_author);
$buffy .= '<span class="td-post-author-name">';
$buffy .= 'post->post_author) . '">' . $author_name . '' ;
if (td_util::get_option('tds_m_show_author_name') != 'hide' and td_util::get_option('tds_m_show_date') != 'hide') {
$buffy .= ' <span>-</span> ';
}
$buffy .= '</span>';
}
}
return $buffy;
}
td_module.php file is ignored in Child Theme? If I make there the change nothing changes.
Any option to keep this modification and not lost it in the next update?
Thanks
Please provide a link to your website so I can see the issue and inspect it, the code should work on both desktop and mobile. If you use the mobile theme enter it in the mobile theme custom code dedicated section as well.
You can add any code in the custom code sections of the theme panel, in the child theme stylesheet or directly in the theme stylesheet.
Thanks
PS: As for the child theme, I have found your excellent tutorial https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
I have just to replicate the directory tree.

Thank you for your reply.
1 – The style I am looking for is the one in the demo page https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_tech/shop/. Now the styling is correct but only IF I don’t declare the page as a shopping page in woocomerce -> settings…
Now I just realised that when a page is set as a shop page the PAGE ATTRIBUTES box in the wordpress backend does not display the TEMPLATE options, usually it is set to -> DEFAULT TEMPLATE (other options, just to avoid confusion, are “pagebuilder + empty page”, “+ overlay menu” and so on…)
2 – Now I got how the sidebar works in this theme, it’s ok now.
3 – Ok!
4 – Thank you! Is it possible to put that code into the child theme? I put a copy of the file td_block_text_with_title.php, duly modified, on the child theme folder but it won’t work. Do I need to recreate the same folder tree in the child theme?
I have seen that block elements (like Block 3) have the styling I am looking for but the woocomerce categories are not visible in the “category filter” pull-down menu of the block settings of the WPBackery Page Builder. Maybe if we could select the category from the filter it would be easier and more flexible. I tried using shortcodes and IDs and slugs but it seems they are invisible.
Thank you.
Hello,
Please try to reinstall the theme and the multi-purpose plugin and make sure you keep the theme name intact. Do not change the theme name.
If you use a child theme please make sure you test with the main theme as well.
Thank you!
