Search Results for 'child theme'

Alin,

Thank you for the prompt reply. Your support is beyond fantastic!

I just removed import_video_slider_bg to clean things up, and it’s back to the default: white/clear.

Last question:

I’m actually using Big Grid 2, and yes I’m using the video demo as a start. If I change the default color directly on the demo style sheet, will it get over written if Newspaper gets updated? I am using Newspaper through my child theme.

Hi

You just need to upload Newsmag-child.zip file in your wordpress install and the theme will be installed: http://screencast.com/t/Q5of9Zof5F – http://screencast.com/t/nM9vvcEHL

Thanks!

Blimey! That was somewhat easy. Strange because I copied and pasted my code direct from the WordPress instructions on creating a child theme.

That seems to have worked, I’ll slowly try to add back in the changes I had made on 7.2.

Hi,

What is the use of a child theme if it is not update proof?

So I download the WordPress upload-able files from theme forrest, I also download the full one…then upload code folder? I am confused how to install the child theme?

Hi, Brian here.

Yes the site works with vanilla 7.3 and the sidebar is fine.

However: I’m trying to get a child theme working and every time I turn the child theme on the homepage messes up and the sidebar disappears.

Here’s what I’ve done:

Folder called: Newspaper-7_3-IC-Child
style.css
/*
Theme Name: Newspaper 7.3 Israellycool Child Theme
Theme URI: https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609?s_rank=1
Description: Newspaper 7.3 Israellycool Child Theme
Author: Brian of London
Author URI: http://www.israellycool.com
Template: Newspaper
Version: 7.3 [corresponds to theme version 7.3]
*/

functions.php
<?php
// Added by Brian of London BoL 2016-07-20
// Updated 2016-08-18 to try to rework after 7.3
// switched from old method of child theme loading
// "Note that the previous method was to import the parent theme stylesheet using @import:
// this is no longer best practice, as it increases the amount of time it takes style sheets to load. "
//
//

wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array( $parent_style ),
wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
?>

That’s it, no other changes made yet (I’ve got a screenshot.png file in the folder too).

As soon as I select that child the sidebar suddenly jumps to the bottom of the page, before the footer.

Hi there – I’m Dave’s slightly more technical sidekick.

So I switched back to the unedited theme. Then replaced 7.2 with 7.3 and all seemed to work.

I tried making a cut down version of the child theme that overrides nothing at all but even that seemed to halt the side bar.

At the present time (after switching back to the unaltered 7.3) the sidebar space is there but it doesn’t seem populated. I’ve flushed caches on the server (Litespeed) and with Cloudflare.

Hi

The install process for child theme is the same as for the main theme, you just need to upload the zip file in WordPress. The child theme for Newsmag theme can be found in Newsmag-tf/code folder: http://screencast.com/t/Q5of9Zof5F For more details about child theme please check this link: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes Also you can find our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-child-theme-support/

Hope this helps.
Thanks!

Hi

Try to update the theme at V 7.3 which is available on themeforest, clear all caches then test the site again. Also I’ve noticed that you’re using child theme so try to deactivate it then then check how t goes. If the problem is caused by the child theme try to update it to the newer version included in theme’s path: http://screencast.com/t/s3BU8yNq1

Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!

Hi guys,
Message 2 here. I have taken the CSS code from the child theme style.css and moved it into the theme settings custom code tab and that seems to have fixed this.

Just for my own learning, is it better to have the custom CSS in the theme panel? Is there any reason why the CSS in the child theme would not render on a mobile?

Thanks.

See tutorials online for how to use “FileZilla” to manage WordPress via FTP.

Really good skill to have 🙂

Basically, have a “local” copy of your entire site on your hard drive; both as a backup and as a “working” copy to make edits to. Best NOT using child theme and use “main” theme to ensure ease of future updates; just keep track of any changes to theme files.

I often make a separate folder for copies of files I have changed.

Edit files in textpad 5 (free), BBEdit, notepad on PC, simpletext (DO NOT USE WORD PROCESSOR!).

Make edits, upload via FTP, then check site on web; if you mess up, just upload the working file back again. Keep both FTP and browser windows open, and pretty soon you’ll be a wiz! 🙂

This doesn’t work with the child theme. Changing in the main theme is not a good idea. Do you have any option?

Hi

Please provide a link where we can inspect this issue and we will ge back to you as soon as possible. Meanwhile try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, deactivate the child theme if you’re using, clear all caches then test the site again.

Thanks!

You can try these options (note, theme does not create redirects)

Check your htaccess file and remove any redirects there, as first option.

Remove child theme folder; consider not using one.

Second, if you activated a bad plugin; rename your plugin folder to xplugins via FTP; this will force disable all plugins. Or, remove any ‘redirection’ plugin from the plugins folder if you recently activated one. Or, try removing Yoast SEO if you setup a bad setting for that.

If you still cannot access; delete all themes in wp-content/themes except twenty-sixteen which will force WP to ‘fall back’ to that version.

Hi Bogdan,

Here are what we need:

1) We will build 3 different websites with different content. They are under one domain and with different directory like this:

http://admin.dushi.singtao.ca/toronto/
http://admin.dushi.singtao.ca/vancouver/
http://admin.dushi.singtao.ca/calgary/

2) They will use same one WP backend to post articles

3) We would like to use three newspapaer themes for each of them, like this:
Newspaper-tor / Newspaper-tor-child (For http://admin.dushi.singtao.ca/toronto/)
Newspapaer-van / Newspaper-van-child (For http://admin.dushi.singtao.ca/vancouver/)
Newspapaer-cal / Newspaper-cal-child (For http://admin.dushi.singtao.ca/calgary/)

4) We need to setup theme for each of them as the layout will be different.

Our problem is how to setup multi-newspaper themes under one WP installation.
We have tried, but looks like the Newspaper theme will store to one record in the database.
If there any way can help us to solve this problem?

Thank you and very appreciated if you can help us.

Have a great day!
Chris

Thanks.
You might want to add that i should use a childtheme for this?
Or can this be added using a php snippet using a plugin that add stuff to functions.php

HI

I’ve checked your site and noticed that there is a wrong class added in html structure: http://screencast.com/t/GVwbM7vpyeF PLease check your customizations from child theme and make sure that they don’t affect page’s load, you can also try to deactivate it then test the site again.

Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
