Hi Catalin, can you guide me on how i would know if i am using a child theme from the installation, how would i go about doing that starting new installation of the theme?
Thank you
Pradeep – this is really great, thank you. I’ve been wanting to do this…
BUT, I followed the initial instructions (changed header-menu.php in the Child Theme) but it made the search icon disappear from the main menu?
Here’s the code I used. Any thoughts?
<div class="header-search-wrap">
<div class="dropdown header-search">
<div class="td-drop-down-search" aria-labelledby="td-header-search-button">
<form role="search" method="get" class="td-search-form" action="/visitor-sitemap">
<div class="td-head-form-search-wrap">
<input id="td-header-search" type="text" value="Search" name="q" class="s search-input" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Search') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Search';}" /> <input type="submit" id="td-header-search-top" class="wpb_button wpb_btn-inverse btn" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
HI
Have you used all the time td_data_source.php file in child theme? Did your custom code worked fine before with this file in child theme?
Since V3 we made some major changes in block’s structure and all atts are now defined in td_block.php file. Maybe new implementation conflict with your code and it may be required an adjustment.
Unfortunately I can’t debug the code provided as this involve custom work and we can’t provide such services at the moment. If you still can’t manage to solve this issue my advice is to look for someone who can help you with implementation or hire a developer to update the code for you.
Thanks!
Hello Saretsky91,
Please notice that this type of issue happens due from your customizations which are included in your Child Theme. Keep in mind that in the latest theme update we change a bit of our image system, we have introduced the Retina support for all images, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/y1FPNz9Z and perhaps all of these changes can influence all of your customizations. Please check all of these, adjust them to the actual code and check the results. Also, if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
This issue is mostly caused by plugin conflicts. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. Then test the button again. Let us know how it goes. Also if you have any custom code in the theme panel or the child theme, make sure you remove that also. (make a back-up before)
Thank you!
Hello ralsiralsi,
Do you are using the Child Theme? If yes, please try to switch the theme to the main theme, clear again your caches and check it again the results.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks.
Hi team,
We are upgrading Newsmag 3.0 and we have encountered an interesting issue.
Let me tell you what is happening.
We created a new Taxonomy called Lifestyle, and through the VC, the editor can select the type of lifestyle on the listing page.
add_action( ‘admin_init’, array( ‘VisualComposerAddon’, ‘extendLifestyleOptions’ ) );
static public function extendLifestyleOptions() {
// Retrieve all Lifestyle taxonomy
$terms = get_terms( taxonomies\LifestyleTaxonomy::TAXONOMYNAME );
if( !is_wp_error( $terms ) && count( $terms ) > 0 ) {
$dropdown = array(
‘Disabled’ => ‘disabled’,
‘All Lifestyles’ => ‘all’
);
foreach( $terms as $term ) {
$dropdown[“- {$term->name}”] = $term->term_id;
}
// Param to be added
$new_param = array(
‘type’ => ‘dropdown’,
‘heading’ => ‘Filter based on lifestyle’,
‘param_name’ => ‘adv_filtering_lifestyle’,
‘group’ => ‘Filter’,
‘admin_label’ => true,
‘value’ => $dropdown,
‘description’ => __( ‘If selected, will further filter the posts based on the lifestyle.<br/>Select DISABLED to disable the filter.’, ‘vc_extend’ ),
‘save_always’ => true
);
vc_add_param( “td_block_slide”, $new_param);
}
}
We can see the new dropdown being added in the VC. However, during the front-page rendering, the system could not identify “adv_filtering_lifestyle” parameter in shortcode_to_args() function under includes/wp_booster/td_data_source.php
We have never encountered this issue up until Newsmag 2.3.6 – only after upgrading to 3.0, things start to be falling apart.
We do not want to downgrade to 2.3.6 again – as we want to keep up to date.
What possible go wrong. For your information, we have been running a child-theme of Newsmag, and includes/wp_booster/td_data_source.php has been cloned in the child-theme
Hello ToniLaird,
Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme (Newspaper 7.4). Do you are using the child theme? If you are using it, you will have to switch the theme to the main theme, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. Please make sure that you have right made your backup, according to this documentation here -> https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
Hi there,
I’ve updated my theme and downloaded your provided child theme, but when I activate the Child Theme all of the post images disappear. Not sure why or how to fix this. I have deactivated the Child theme for now, but would really like to be able to use it as I have alot of customization I will be adding on to the site. My url is: http://www.vancitycondoguide.com/
Please let me know what I am missing!
Thanks
HI
Please make sure that you update the theme according with our documentation, deactivate the child theme if you’re using, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re using then test the site again.
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist provide your site url so we can have a closer look.
Thanks!
Hello joncreek,
If you want that all your custom CSS want to be valid for other updates and do not want to loose it, please notice that you should use the child theme and add there all your custom CSS which you have it. For more information about child theme support, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Hope this helps!
If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for your understanding!
The last version of the theme is already on our server (7.4), child theme too. Few plugins that we have are disabled. The complete procedure of making the child theme is quite familiar to us (we are technically educated).
Issue appeared after all that was applied by your instructions. Complete website just fall apart. Screen shoots are already attached.
Thank you for your time

Hello SennaSempre,
Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the child theme which comes bundled with the theme packet, trying to clear all your caches and test it again. For more information about child theme support, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello
I’ve looked further at this and am now concerned!
What I have done is to clone the site to a dev area and use an on-demand crawler (Screaming Frog in this instance) to see what has happened.
I have deactivated ALL the plugins, whilst still using the Newspaper 7.3 Child theme and I still get 404’s… Screaming Frog gives a specific of:
Type: AHREF with the original url to the destination url, the destination url in one instance (and repeated a few times with different urls) http://dev.aclwebservices.com/b47/spada-pilgrim-everyday-motorcycle-boots/www.
It is only when I swap themes that these 404’s disappear!
It would appear on the face of it then, that the Newspaper theme is raising the challenge?
Advice asap would be appreciated – I can of course give you access to the dev area for your research, please provide a secure method to give you the info.
many thanks
Hello,
I have tested this on my end but did not see the issue. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you sue it. Also make sure you do not have any custom code in the child theme or in the theme panel that might affect the ads.
Let us know if you still have issues with this and prvide a link to your site if the problem is still there
Thank you!
Hello,
I am trying to use/add child theme to existing Newspaper theme using the default files provided in code folder.
How it’s done (FTP view): http://pasteboard.co/1RkNVCdhN.jpg
Problem is that even with no further changes except adding those 2 default files you provided, this is what happens:
Footer is changed
http://pasteboard.co/1RmiZ9Tcw.jpg
There is no sidebar
http://pasteboard.co/1RmOzDA1J.jpg
Can you please advise how this can be solved?

Hello AdamAL,
Please notice that all of your content which you have added it to your website will be loaded in your database. Also, notice that you can export/import the Theme panel settings from your Theme panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/r3W9cn5X02j and for more information about this process you can check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/ We recommend that for each major change or moved to another website or major update, please make a full backup to your data, according to this documentation here -> https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups Also, please notice that another good way in this regard is to use the Child Theme if you want to make some custom modifications through code. For more information about this feature, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
I added it to the child theme css and all is ok, didn’t seem to work in custom css.
As an aside why would i need to set menu to be visible when it should be anyway?
Hello ronsmart,
The theme settings can be imported only in Theme panel and not in main theme or child theme. Please notice that all of these will be loaded in your database and these are unrelated to your child theme.
Thanks for your understanding!
Is there a place to put default “IMPORT THEME SETTINGS” in a child theme?
Thank you!
Do you have any redirects in your htaccess? or custom code in your child theme or in the theme panel custom code boxes. Please also check that and if you still cannot get it to work properly, please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can login and investigate this issue.
Please also include a link to this topic so we can identify you.
Thank you!
Hi
The code must be added directly in style.css at the exact same lines as I’ve indicated in the other topic, in main theme, not in child theme, not in custom css section from theme panel.
Thanks!
I added that snippet of code to the Style.css in the Child Theme but nothing changed.
Hi,
Well you do not have to use custom css in the child theme. You can simply use the theme panel’s custom css box: http://screencast.com/t/zlKtgTNdj
The code from the custom css box will not get rewritten on any update.
Thank you!
Yes, I always forget that sometimes the child css doesn’t work (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t) and that I have to copy and paste the child css into the theme options.
As you know, not an easy thing to remember when usual FTP has worked for years…
