Search Results for 'child theme'

Hello mayuxi,

First of all, please ensure that our new version of the theme (Newspaper 7.3) is fully tested and still brings the most results. So, please try to make a full backup being safe. Then, try to download the latest version of the theme from Envato Market, clear all your old version of the theme and install the new one using the FTP because this is the surest method in this case -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/. Also, please install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme (Visual Composer 4.12, Social Counter 4.1), clear all your caches, purge CDN file if you are using the CDN system and check the results. If you are using the Child Theme, you will have to use the latest version of it and also, you can try to rule the theme only using the main theme, without child theme and see hoe it will work. You can make a new clean install from scratch and install the theme according to our documentation and you will see that the theme will work as properly.

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi,

Do you have any custom modification in your child theme files?
If you have, please make a backup and install the unmodified child theme provided with the theme, you can find it in code folder and check if you still have issues.
Also check this without any plugins active except Visual Composer and clear all your caches.
Let us know how it goes and if the issue persist please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin access and we will take a look. Also paste a link to this topic.

Thanks!

Hello,

If things go wrong when using a child theme it probably means the child theme was not created properly or you have some custom code in there that alters the theme functionality. Please re-created the child theme using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
There is a child theme starter in the theme main archive: http://screencast.com/t/uvUSYhOPm7J

Thank you!

Hello Sanny,

When updating from newspaper 4, you have to follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ (bottom section) and also: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
The social counter plugin also needs updating.
The child theme needs to be removed altogether as all of the code was changed since newspaper 4. The customization needs to be re-created on the new code.

I hope this helps.
Thank you!

Hi,

Try this custom css and see how it goes – http://screencast.com/t/E3lQVFzmuxMT – http://screencast.com/t/jovhqZDQzuRV

.td_social_type .td_social_info:nth-child(2) {
display: none;
}

Also you can translate Fans from Theme Panel > Translations – http://screencast.com/t/I8BWEqN9

Thanks!

hello,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. The test again. It could be a plugin conflict. Also if you have any custom code added, please remove it and if you use a child theme please witch to the main theme to rule out any customization issues.
Thank you!

Hi,
I just tested this method again and it works properly. Here is the code needed so you can simply replace all of the function: http://pastebin.com/8Th0pTS5 – http://screencast.com/t/Qca6RE8wl
Make sure you clear cache afterwards and not make the modification in the child theme as the entire wp_booster folder cannot be rewritten from the child theme.
Thank you!

Hi,

The child theme is a bit complicated to understand at first. It is basically a re-write of the main theme.
Not all of the files in our theme will work from the child theme though .The main functions.php file requires custom implementation to be able to re-write the main file and all of the WP_Booster folder will not work as well from the child theme. If you move the post template files to the child, the theme will use those files and not the ones from the main theme. You have to use this guide to create the child theme properly: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ It’s basically a mirror image of the main theme.
However there is one important thing to know about a child theme. It is not update proof. This is a common mistake users make and update their themes and do not update the child theme causing lots of issues. The child theme serves the file you add to it. if that file is modified in a future update and you serve the old modified version of the file from the child theme, there could be consequences.
\So when using a child theme you have to keep a look-out if the files you added to the child theme get updated. If they do, you need to re-create your child theme with the current theme files and re-apply your modification. A child theme helps you skip a few updates as not all files get modified on each update but it is not update proof.

I hope this is clear enough…I know it’s a mouth full. 😛

Thanks.

Hello,

Unfortunately all of the wp_booster folder will not work from the child theme. You will have to make modifications to these files in the main theme.

Thank you!
