Why Newspaper child theme sometimes does not overwrite parent theme (in “includes\wp_booster” directory)?
For example –
files overwritten by child theme:
themes\Newspaper\includes\shortcodes\td_block_1.php
themes\Newspaper\includes\block_templates\td_block_template_1.php
file not overwritten by child theme:
themes\Newspaper\includes\wp_booster\td_block.php
Hello,
This could be a plugin conflict so 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 functionality of the theme.
Thank you!

Hello,
I just uploaded (after uncompressing it) the child theme folder into the theme folder in my WP installation but the I am only seeing the default theme (Newspaper).
Hello nakosar,
Try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
.td-footer-template-13 .footer-social-wrap span:last-child{
margin-right:0!important;
}
The result -> http://screencast.com/t/5S37wZJ1
Thanks for the message!
Hi Bogdan,
Thanks again for your reply. We used minification from W3TC and Cloudflare. I’ve disabled both of them and nothing has changed.
We do not use child theme and did not add any type of custom codes in theme settings.
Thank you.
You still have a js error in your console. Do you use any js minification tool or do you use a child theme? The js gets broken from somewhere and if it;s not a plugin that means there is another cause. Please try to restore the theme to it;s default code as much as possible and switch to the main theme if you use a child theme.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please check your server if you have ClamAV antivirus. It is known to detect false positives in our theme and simply delete theme files.
If you want to update the theme please switch to the main theme not the child theme as child themes need to be updated as well for them to work properly with new versions. Here is a topic describing this:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/setting-up-child-theme/
Please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
There seem to be missing files from your theme after you update so i suspect the antivirus detection error.
Thank you!
Hi,
I am trying to upload the latest version of Newspaper, and it ends up broken theme all the time. So I have contacted my hosting company, and they tried to upload it, and it also ended up as a broken theme.
They send me a message to send you.
Here it is:
The following themes are installed but incomplete.
Name: Description
Newspaper: Template is missing. Standalone themes need to have a index.php template file. Child themes need to have a Template header in the style.css stylesheet.
Newspaper:Template is missing. Standalone themes need to have a index.php template file. Child themes need to have a Template header in the style.css stylesheet.
Please send these error messages to the theme developer and ask them what can be done to resolve them.
We would like to assist you further with this however we can’t do anything without a complete theme. Thanks for your understanding.
Can you please help me with this?
Thank you!

Hi Bogdan, can you hire a TagDiv developer to solve this problem.

Really thanks.

Hello,
thanks for Your reply. I don’t want to change the category URL. I just want to get url of current post category that is displayed in “td_block_1” module (as you can see in the screenshot). It’s a small theme modification (I use Newspaper child theme).
After clicking on the link ‘See all news in category’ I want to open current category template (it’s default category wordpress template, it’s also built-in Newspaper theme).
In the Newspaper theme there is a function called ‘get_block_title’ that shows the category title (see in the screenshot)
I need to use a similar function, like ‘get_block_current_category_url’. Maybe it is already built-in the Newspaper theme? Or can You give me some advices how to add something like this?

Hello,
This could be a plugin conflict so please disable all plugins except visual composer and revolution slider, 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.
Then test again with only the 2 plugins active. I tested the theme with both pluginhs but could not see any conflict.
Here is an example on my end: http://screencast.com/t/p2UCwsu4FU
post settings work as expected: http://screencast.com/t/c2IAeI3b
rev slider works as expected: http://screencast.com/t/6B6G3RUy
Thank you!

Try the new update without plugins or child theme and let us know if you still have trouble
Thank you!
Hello,
Unfortunately the child theme is not update proof. Depending on the file you edited in the child theme, you will probably have to replace and re-add your customization to the file in the child theme.
You can use this guide to update the main theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
As for the child theme please read this topic:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/setting-up-child-theme/
Thank you!
You have to delete all old theme’s file and folder (except child theme if you use it) and reupload the latest version from file manager. Install it there so activate from WP-Admin.
Same question im not running a child theme
Q – Check their support forums for tips on getting plugins to work with each other when there might be some oddball conflict.
A – Well I’m just going to get bounced around like that. Both plugins are standard in the theme and I doubt they would be there if there was a conflict so more relevant to get assistance here.
Q – i also find clearing cache, resaving permalinks, and clearing transients with wp-optimize helps
A – Yep, done that
Q – oh, and not using child themes!
A – Why? I did think of that and the problem exists whether main theme is activated or child is.
Q – Also note some stuff does not seem to work very well in multi-user setups, which is fault of the plugins most often.
A – Once again, both plugins are part and parcel of the theme. If it was a non-related plugin, I would be talking to the plugin creator first or simply delete it.
Thanks for taking the time to make some suggestions, but I’m no closer to having the problem resolved.
Another strange thing that I have just relized, I am using from the start the child theme in order I have to change something in css, so that it won#t get overwritten.
Block3, Block6 and Block2 the ones I had used for some Categories are not working side by side, but get shown under each other.

I had checked the css and found when I reduce the width of td-block-span6 from 339px to 329px it is shown normal.
My edited css looks so far like this:
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This file will load automatically when the child theme is active. You can use it
for custom CSS.
*/
.td-post-featured-image {
display:none;
}
As I am working with the provided Child Theme, I do not see where I went wrong.
Have you checked with the two plugin companies to see about conflicts ?

Hi,
Currently using 7.1.1 with child-theme.
I wish to update to the latest version to 7.4 without loosing my changes in the child-theme.
What is the best way to do that?
Hello,
A new update was just released so please update your version of the theme and visual composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Then test this without any other plugins. 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 functionality of the theme.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks
