Hi
Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, deactivate the child theme if you’re using, clear all caches and also make sure that you don’t have any custom css which change the menu style then test the site again.
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist please provide your site url so we can have a closer look.
Thanks!
Hi
You don’t need a child theme if you don’t plan to customize theme’s features. If you’re saying that you don’t have experience with codeing there is o need to use a child theme.
With regard at installation you can generate a zip file then upload it in wordpress or you can upload directly Newspaper-child folder on the server via ftp in: your-wp-install/wp-content/themes.
Thanks!
Hi
Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, deactivate the child theme, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re using then test the site again.
Let us know ho it goes.
Thanks!
You should update the plugins that come with the updated theme, per the install/upgrade docs.
Be sure to clear caching, reset CDN with any updates, also.
If it “suddenly happened” two days after updating the theme could be anything: web server update, hack, etc. If you have automatic updates turned on, WP might have updated something and broken site — theme doesn’t break the site randomly 2 days after update, in my own experience (I don’t work here).
You can try
a) not using child theme
b) theme needs VC if you have used it for anything like home page; or some of the CSS isn’t there. If you’re using the beta TD Composer, then only those blocks supported by TDC will work, any “special” VC blocks will not.
c) switch to default theme
Note you have a number of errors on your site for font not loading, missing image, and “OTS” parsing error related to font not decoding. Use F12/console in chrome to see browser errors.
While attempting to create a child theme (Newspaper 7.4), I received this error from the plugin that creates it:
The theme “Newspaper” generated unexpected PHP debug output.
Notice: Undefined variable: widget_ops on line 69

Hi
Please make sure that your customizations from child theme don’t affect site’s functionality, also make sure that you’tr using an updated version of child theme, preferably the version from V 3.1: http://screencast.com/t/dn5V2AwVcb
Thanks!
I fixed all the settings in super cache. When I checked it was still broken. I deactivated the child theme and it was fixed. I need to have the child theme active. So what can I do?
Thanks

Hello,
in order to be sure your site will work properly you have to re-create the child theme again. Please use the child theme provided in the theme package: http://screencast.com/t/UUGvVDLHVO and modify the files provided there. If you need any other files modified, copy them from the current theme version and modify the code again. You will have to re-apply your modifications to the new theme files…to the new theme code.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. Also please remove any code from your theme panel or child theme to rule out any custom code you added.
If you still have issues with this, please provide a link to your site so we can inspect it.
Thank you!
Thanks. Deactivated the childs theme and cleared the cache in my phone and retested…still the same.
Hi amaestri274,
Unfortunately, the td_module.php is called permanently in this case but keep in mind that this cannot be overwritten in the child theme, sorry! As a quick solution, you will have to make the folder in your Child Theme like this -> Newspaper child -> images -> no-thumb and then, in td_module.php core file you will have to do some changes, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/TTj78I6QKk and you will bring good results. Also, please notice that for each update, you will have to make these changes because, the td_module.php is not supported by Child Theme.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi
I’ve checked your site and the issue seems to be causes by a wrong css. Try to deactivate the child theme, clear all caches, purge the cdn if you’re using then test the site again.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for your reply.
We have modified functions.php & style sheet of the child theme(folder) in version 6.7 and added some new files in the child theme. So is it okay to take the backup of modified files(functions.php & style sheet) and newly created files and update the theme to the new version and again add the customisation of functions.php & style sheet of the child theme(folder) and add newly created files? If we do like this will our site work as is or any issues arise?
Thanks

HI
Please make sure that you setup WP Super Cache according with our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/ also I’ve noticed that you’re using child theme. Try to deactivate it then test the site again using Super cache plugin.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
Helolo Abburi,
Unfortunately a child theme is not update proof. There is no update proof method to customize the theme files. It’s like this. You have a few file sin your child theme that you copied over from the main theme and modified. Now, those files have probably been updated in the current version of the theme. (You could get lucky and they have not, but there is a strong chance they have). if you do not replace the files in the child theme with the new ones, then you will have newspaper 7 in the main theme and serve newspaper 6 files from the child theme. This will cause conflicts and ‘break’ the theme. The only safe way of doing it is to make a back-up of the customization you made, install the new theme, re-create the child theme using the current files and then re-apply the customization if it still works in the new code. A child theme is not update proof. It helps you skip a few updates but that’s it. There is no way of keeping an old file and using it indefinitely. You will have to take a look at every update since newspaper 6.7 and if your file is not on the updated files lists, then you can leave it as it is. if you find your files on any update list since newspaper 6.7, then you will have to re-apply your modification
Thank you!

Hi all.
I’ve installed Newspaper 7.4 on WordPress 4.6.1
I’ve created the all sets of images for no-thumb under my child theme (child/images/no-thumb/*) but I don’t see it when I reload the page where is showed one of it.
I saw that the call for no-thumb images is in td_module.php at row 273: but that call generate an URL to the parent theme, Newspaper and not Newspaper-child.
Anyone can help me?
Alex.
Okay after doing some searching around I tried going via url to the following after having moved the unzipped / zipped Newspaper folder into the wp-content/themes folder:
1. http://localhost/murphytimes/wp-admin/themes.php
It displays the other themes but I noticed that down the bottom under “Broken Themes” it has this:
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.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Hello,
The child theme is something you create. You do not buy it anywhere. We already provide a starter child theme in our theme package here: http://screencast.com/t/tpp8wsd9hbL
I think the best explanation for a child theme is provided by wp here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
If you want to use a child theme you can use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
But if you do not plan on adding any custom code or edit the theme files, then you do not need a child theme at all.
I hope this helps.
I dont have child theme. Do I need to buy it ?
What is the importance of child theme ?
Just updated to 7.4 and encountered a little odd issue.
When (on mobile) viewing a single post the whole site gets a little to wide for the actual browswer-window. The pictures seems to be out of alignment with the rest of the content.
If i press down on the screen av swipe left a white edge appear to the right of the main-menu (as seen in the first of the three pictures included).
I have tried to disable all my ads, updated to the latest version of the child-theme as well as tried without the child-theme all togheter. Nothing seems to help. The issue does not occur when on the landing/index page. Only on post-pages.
Site is enkelteknik.se if you want to see the issue. Only on the individual articles. The landning page is fine.
HI
No, td_block.php don’t work in child theme and also we didn’t tested td_data_source.php like this. Try to move td_data_source.php in main theme and check how it goes.
Thanks!
Hello ralsiralsi,
Please notice that the Child Theme is an optional one which comes bundled with the main theme. A child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality and styling of another theme, called the parent theme. Child themes are the recommended way of modifying an existing theme. The child theme should have to be installed by yourself and loaded from the Theme packet in order to use it. For more information about child theme support, please check the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ So, if you want to load the Child Theme on your website, please notice that you have to follow the next steps, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/OSutagcxZ -> http://screencast.com/t/uzxsVzwt
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi Andrei,
Yes, we have used td_data_source.php in our child theme.
Yes, the custom code work fine before with this file in our child theme.
It looks like td_block.php is not working on the child theme, doesn’t it?
