That is not my experience. I need to explicitly turn off that setting for the post type ‘download’ or the more articles slider comes in as I scroll the page.
So my question stands: is there some official way to locally suppress a global setting from my template like the update_temp() function does, or is the only official way to copy and edit the more articles PHP file in my child theme?
I would request that the deprecated status of the update_temp() be lifted, and it be kept as official for such purposes. It is much simpler in this case.
Thanks!
Yes, I have made most of my modifications using a child theme.
Okay, I will update it in a staging site and see if everything works fine.
Hi,
There were many modified files in the 8.2 update, after the WordPress update. These fixed various issues that were present at the time. The problem was not just with the captions.
You should try and update the theme to the latest version, version 8.5 introduced many new features.
If possible try and make customization using a child theme, that would be a lot more future proof ten modifying actual theme files. Only if the files are not supported by the child theme you should modify them directly.
Here is an update guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thanks
Hello FBI,
I suppose that your problem comes becasue your images are stuck in opacity 0. This usually happens on a js error caused by plugins or customization or other external optimization tools.
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, 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 functioning of the theme.
Thank you!
Hi,
Yes we use child theme right now but we change main theme name and child theme name as per naming convention of wordpress 3 years ago. Now, it would be hard for us to change theme, please test it and make it available in such a way that things should not be depended on theme name. Irrespective of theme name, theme should work. For the first time I have seen that a theme only works if it has its original name.
I would recommend you to follow wordpress standard and https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
Hi,
The theme panel settings and custom code entered in the theme panel, will not be lost after a theme update. Or you could create a child theme for theme customization

It is as well recommended to make periodic backups, in case something unpredictable happens.
Thanks
I’m bringing up an online storefront on my existing Newspaper8 site using EDD. The way EDD works it only lets me use the default page style from Newspaper8, so I have had to create a child theme and create single-download.php to make it look like I want.
I am able to tweak this template to override everything I want to disable (the social share, the “Related Articles”, ads, etc.) using the template and overriding the short code for ads and adding a simple conditional based on the post type ‘download’.
I also want to override the “more articles” slider element so it does not show up on posts of type ‘download’. While digging through the code I found a method td_options::update_temp() that lets me do exactly what I want by just adding a single line to the template. However, that method is documented with a “deprecated” warning not to use it. This solution is just so simple:
td_options::update_temp('tds_more_articles_on_post_pages_enable','no');
So my question is if there is any other approved official way to override a setting for my post type this way?
The other option I have is to copy the includes/wp_booster/td_more_article_box.php file into my child theme and add a one-line change to add the conditional there, but that just makes for more long-term maintenance work for me on every theme update.
Same problem here. When I try to edit my website’s front page with the TD Composer it just keeps loading and I can’t change anything.
Also can’t access to the Theme Panel. It loads the first option, Header, but when I try to access another tab a # appears on the url but nothing happens. I erased all the caches, deactivated all plugins, reinstalled the necessary plugins, even made a fresh install of the theme and the child theme and it keeps failing.
Don’t know if it’s related.
Hello,
It seems you use a font that is not compatible with chrome. On fierfox everything seems fine.
Also 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!

thank yours. I just download the latest theme on ThemeForest and using folder child theme, which included in folder full package.
So I have the newspaper 7, and I just downloaded the 8.5 update and inside is a patch folder. Am I suppose to install the patch folder as a theme? Do I need to do anything with that?
Why isn’t the theme just updating like other themes?
Am I suppose to install the patch into a child theme?
Im like so confused. Im working on a testing server and want to use the child theme, and them push this to my live site. So I am not sure where the info for the patch details are located. If you have a link to the patch details page please share.
Thank you, Tonia
Hi,
I believe that needs to be entered in the post page. Then the code has to be entered in the post template files. Each post template has a corresponding loop-single file (Ex: post template 2 -> loop-single-2.php)
The post template files are located in the main theme folder. Edit the post template you wish and enter the code in the structure, where you would like it to appear

These files can be edited through a child theme

Hello tomnyson,
Make sure that you are using the right child theme version which comes bundled with the latest theme’s packet from Theme Forest. Also, make sure that your theme installing was made via FTP because this is the surest method in this case.
Thanks for the message!
Thanks for the info. I have to disagree with you regarding the value of child themes, though. They are great for small, interim updates, but obviously are a challenge for major ones like 8.5. I’ll be working on this during the coming weekend. Fortunately, I wrote everything down on my customization so (at least in theory) after a couple of hours’ work, everything should be just peachy. Or not. 🙂
I have a problem when switch main theme to child theme message show “wp booster error:
Missing parameter: ‘file'”
who anyone can show me resolve way.thank you
In 8.5 and 8.5.1 the Theme panel throws an error Class 'tds_api' not found when a child theme is in use.
I downloaded the latest version from Themeforest and updated everything via FTP.
Any guidance?
Thanks for the reply! I don’t have custom CSS written up yet and am still tweaking the Newspaper base / layout settings, so I’m making changes in the Newspaper Theme and then once I’m ready to enable the custom CSS, I’m going to activate the child theme and use the customize option so I can see live edits.
If that works, I’m all set- thanks again for your recommendations!
Hi,
How to I add this post reaction on my child theme?

Hello,
If you have custom code in your child theme, you really have to do that again. There is absolutely no update proof method of altering the theme files. Yes, you are not altering the original files through the child theme but think of it like this. After the update, the theme files change. The code is different, and you are still feeding the old code from a few versions back through the child theme. What do you think will happen? This is the main reason why I think child themes are stupid and a waste of time (my personal opinion)
Please use this guide to properly update the theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and use this guide top re-createa your child theme and customization: https://forum.tagdiv.com/search/child+theme/ otherwise you will face lots of issues with the new update when using your existing child theme.
Thank you!
Hello,
Layout issues are usually dues to plugin conflicts. 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.

Hi,
Yes, after further investigations there was an issue with the mobile theme and child theme functionality in version 8.5. However these issues were quickly fixed in theme version 8.5.1.
Please reinstall the theme using the latest version, by FTP is usually the most recommended method to update
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Then make sure that the tagDiv composer and multi-purpose plugins are active.
Also check the theme system status section section, ask your hosting provider to make modifications if needed
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Everything should work properly. Let us know if you still have problems.
Thanks
Hello Fatih,
Most likely, this implementation does not work for child theme and that’s why you bring nothing. Please check the child theme support here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
