Greetings, the situation goes as following: I’m currently doing the maintenance of a website which has the Newspaper version 9.2.1 theme, with the idea of updating it to the newest version. When I did the procedure via FTP, following this guide https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ step by step, the website gave a critical error, reason why I had to reestablish the files of the old version.
Let me tell you about some precedents of the website that could be useful:
-The website was created by another web developer, with whom there’s no further contact. He was the one who originally installed the theme, but due to the lack of contact, we bought the Newspaper once more to do this update.
-The theme’s folder (../wp-content/themes/Newspaper) that the website currently has is considerably bigger in files and weight than the folder in the new theme.
-The website also has a child theme, where we find the majority of personalization of css and new customized templates. Nonetheless, I’m not sure that all updates have been directly made to this child theme, since I’m not familiar with the work done by the previous developer.
For us it’s important to update the website to find it in the best condition possible. How should we proceed? Can we update this theme with the difference between versions? Should the child theme connect with no problem to the updated theme?
I await your response.
Hello,
The child theme is not overwritten by the update. If you’ll have some custom modifications directly in the theme files, then better save the code and replace it after the update -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thank you!
I attempted to find my previous post with the same title but it doesn’t appear to be archived, so… here we go again.
I am using a child-theme of Newspaper
I do not have any alterations to the theme. I use the child theme merely as a good practices measure.
Newspaper theme is set to auto update.
Every time a new version updates the tag-div plugins uninstall and a majority of previous set settings in the theme panel revert to the defaults, such as logos, template thumbnail sizes, choice of headers, and more that I cannot remember but, I’ll make a list as I now have to once again go into the theme panel and change them.
Also I have to reactivate the theme with my purchase code every update as well.
I find this highly annoying, time-consuming and generally a pain in the ass.
Here is a printout of the WPeMatico status report of the current setup, including server information, plug-ins, etc…

Is there a way to change the editors-style.css so that i can have the classic editor post editor look like my front end blockquotes. The current backend post editor has blockquotes look huge and ugly, and i want to change the css so it matches how i display them in an article. So i achieve an almost wysiwyg post editor, or as close as reasonable.
I used to be able to this with a child theme, but i believe that it is no longer supported to have an editors-style.css in child theme.
But if i hard edit the editors-style.css in the theme, i expect changes are lost with each update ???
I am a very low level knowledge website builder, and have used TagDiv Newspaper for some time due to its ease. I have found the need over time to use the Newspaper child theme so that I can add code to functions etc.
My question is this, I presume when i update my theme that the core theme updates, but does the child theme?
If not do I need to update the child theme manually to reflect changes to core Newspaper files ?
Hi. This does not really make sense to me.
Child theme? What’s that?
All I know is that I installed the normal newspaper 11 theme.
So are you saying, if I run the update. I will need to redo many things on my current live site?
Hello!
The child theme is not overwritten by the update. If you’ll have some custom modifications directly in the theme files, then better save the code and replace it after the update.
Make sure that the posts use a cloud template in order to edit them with the TagDiv Composer.

Thank you!
Hello,
The latest version is 11.4.3, of course, a new update will be available this week.
Normally, it shouldn’t affect your website, but if you’ve made changes to the theme files, they will be rewritten (unless they’re saved in the child theme).
However, it is recommended that you have a backup made before update the theme, to all files and databases. You can also update on a staging/test website.
Thank you!
Hello,
Which should be done first so that the change does not go away in the update there is no problem with the operation of the theme ?
1-First create a Child theme. then making changes to the child theme.
2-Making changes to theme files. Then create a child theme. Then select the child theme.
I see tagdiv composer only on pages. I do not see it in the posts. Is this normal?
Thank you for reply.
Hi,
That is one of the main differences between Newspaper and Newsmag, the capability to edit templates with the composer.
The Newsmag theme provides only standard predefined templates, which will only display the elements that are defined in the template files. If you would like to display something after the content it would require editing the file corresponding to the post template you are using, and entering it there. I can mention how it can be done.
But before that, is it a shortcode that you would like to add? Or what kind of code exactly? There may be another way, which is to enter the code in article bottom ad spot in the theme panel https://i.imgur.com/iNdq8d2.png assuming the spot is not used for an ad. Or maybe they can both function from there.
If that does not work or is not possible for some reason, then the only option would be to enter the code in the post template file directly. A child theme can be used so the modification won’t be lost after a theme update. We can discuss more, let me know.
Thank you!
Hello!
If there is a problem, then you need to verify the file from the child theme and adjust it to the update.
Access Newspaper -> Updates and press the button check for updates.
Thank you!
Do you mean we have to check each and every file we have overwritten in child theme?
Also we didn’t receive any updates in “updates” tab of newspaper theme options. Please let us know why it happens
Hello!
The latest version of the theme is 11.4.3. Make sure that all the plugins are up to date too.
The child theme is not overwritten by the update. An issue for that could be the compatibility of your child theme with the new version of our theme(if you use some files which were updated).
If you have some custom modifications directly in the theme files, then better save the code and replace it after the update.
Thank you!
There is no issue of php version.
As soon as I activate newspaper-child theme, I am receiving an error “td_global” not defined in header.php .
Latest version of newspaper theme 11.4
Hello
I installed the Newspaper Template as a child theme with the Default PRO Demo here:
https://neu.kinderkram-sh.de
When I want to edit the Header Template – Default Pro with the TagDiv Composer an error occurs:
Delete
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Error at zones: 6(models) : 0(dom). The model does not match the content Current state has involved an issue. You could try an UNDO operation (CTRL+Z / CTRL+SHIFT+Z)
What can I do here?
Thanks for Feedback

Hi,
You can use the forum menu to see the theme versions -> https://i.imgur.com/lmVA747.png or you can check them on the themeforest -> https://i.imgur.com/DJLRPaM.png I usually recommend the themeforest because there are always set the changes when the theme is updated.
Normally my suggestion it is for YouTube videos and you can also use local videos (with the post format as video), I do not know if this is quite the same thing like you did, but if you can provide an example (screenshot with backend settings of posts) and a link to see the post, I can confirm if is or not.
Now, if that changed worked in Newspaper 9, then should also work in the last version, we need only to figurate out the elements that were used in Newspaper v9 and to use the same elements in v11, also a small changed was made for the child theme, but this should not be a problem, it should still work (the only changed was that some functions were moved in theme plugins, in standard pack and in composer).
Thank you!
We have updated the newspaper theme to 11.4 version
It is throwing an error : PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class “td_global” not found in newspaper-child theme in header file.
How we have installed the new theme version :
1) Installed latest theme version from themeforest.
2) Upload newspaper.zip file to themes from wp-admin and kept newspaper-child theme active.
3) Deleted old version newspaper theme.
Please let us know as we are facing site down issue due to this reason.
Thanks.
Hi NDDdude,
The structure of the child theme seems to be correct, but please use the child them from the Newspaper v11 package.
Also, why not try a single post template form the cloud and then the video icon will be displayed automatically on the featured image (there are to featured image elements, one that is set as background only for images and a normal one that can be used for images, video, audio).

Hello there,
We’re making the radical move from Newspaper 9-ish to Newspaper 11.
We ran a child theme modifying the loop-single.php to put in our video player…
Currently I’m working on a local test site.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/133ApypF8UXlVfM7IbnssPXfFIxIXKCce/view?usp=sharing
We used custom fields to enter files etc, and had an if-else statement to hide the player when there was no video and placing the code just under the get_content.
In 11 I can’t get this to work.
1) I’ve tried a child theme not using the Standard Pack Plugin
2) I’ve tried a child theme using the Standard Pack Plugin
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r2lrF_MWuDoWa9I-7A7HspesG0BXZash/view?usp=sharing
3) I’ve tried hacking loop-singe.php in the main theme just to see if it would display.
4) I’ve tried using the video player without the php code, and just hard coded it.
SO these are the things are probably wrong.
1) template.php in the child theme is not correct
2) the php used in my code is not longer correct
3) I’m not using the right template.
4) Probably a bunch of other things
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I’m building a child theme that uses the LightGallery javascript plugin.
Newspaper’s LazyLoading feature is breaking the gallery. To fix this, I need to call whatever function loads the LazyLoading images when I load the Gallery.
What javascript function loads lazyloading images?

Hi,
Please make sure that you set the child theme like in our guide from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ you need to set in the child theme the files from -> wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newsmag for header files you need to copy the header style that you are using -> wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newsmag/parts/header
Thank you!
i am trying to add the child theme to a site that has been active for a while and when I do it doesnt work
I copied over the header and footer files
is there something else i need to do?
For someone looking for a solution that does not override your changes, place this one in your functions.php of your child theme:
add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'custom_reply_title' );
function custom_reply_title( $defaults ){
$defaults['title_reply_before'] = '<span id="reply-title" class="h4 comment-reply-title">';
$defaults['title_reply_after'] = '</span>';
return $defaults;
}
Hi
I’m trying to comply with all good SEO practices and came across the comment section that is using a H3 tag instead of DIV. I can’t change it via Composer and I’m not sure which file I would have to edit to fix this SEO issue.
Here is the code that is showing up in page source:
<h3 id="reply-title" class="comment-reply-title">LEAVE A REPLY <small>Cancel reply</small></h3>
In which file do I need to edit this and can I move this to a child theme or is there a fix on the way?
Thank you.
