Hi,
If there are problems when activating the child theme, it means that you probably have customization that does not apply to your version of the theme or that the child theme was not updated properly. Please recreate your child theme by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-support/ and re-add your customization to the new files you add to your child theme. A child theme is not update proof. Files must be replaced there as well if they were modified in a theme update.
Thank you!
Hi,
Unfortunately this cannot be done from the child theme. All of the content of the wp_booster folder cannot be rewritten from the child theme. You will have to edit this file in the main theme. The title from the block_template_1.php can be edited in the child theme.
Thank you!
Hi,
When we enable the child theme in Newspaper, our menus are missing with other settings. How can we use the child theme with all the settings we currently have on the main theme?
Thanks
Hi,
Thank you for your great theme.
I created a child theme to customize it, however i can not figure out how to override some title tags imposed by the get_title( ) function in
\includes\wp_booster\td_module.php (<h3></h3>)
Same I would like to change the title tags <h4></h4> imposed by the get_block_title() function
\includes\block_templates\td_block_template_1.php
Thanks for any help !
Hi there,
Firstly, thanks for such a great theme!
I have a question about adding sharing icons to the front page modules. I have been able to add the icons to the module files, in my child theme, that require the icons using <?php echo sharing_display(); ?> in combination with Jetpack. The only issue I have is that it just tries to share the front page, rather than the post link of the item the icons are set with. Is there a way I can loop the post link?
Thanks and regards, Sam
Hi
You can find the changed file in patch_2.3.5_2.3.6 folder. You can use that patch to update the theme without loosing your current customizations. Just replace the old files with the ones from patch and the update will be made.
We didn’t changed any of loop/single files in last theme update. With regard at child theme there are no additional changes made so your code should work fine. There would be a chance to appear some issues with sidebar position on page. If this happens go to appearance > widgets and drag the widget from footer 3 to footer 1: http://screencast.com/t/ZZQZ6eU9
Visual Composer plugin can be updated without any risks as the actual page structure will be kept.
Also before making any change make sure you do a full backup of your current wp-install and to the database also: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
Thanks!
Hi there,
Unfortunately the designers who have arranged my Newsmag theme, have dumped me alone with my updates….
In order to update the latest Newsmag version without erasing their design work (for which I spent a lot), I have a few questions :
1- Are there any essential files to be uploaded, in order to update the whole theme ? My idea is to upload only these essential files, in order to save the actual design.
2- Does the new updated make changes on any loop-x.php files ? If not, I would save the actual ones in order to save some actual classes.
3- What about Newsmag Child, any updates in it or can I keep it as it is ?
3- What about vc_template, any updates in it or can I keep it as it is ?
Thanks in advanced.
I need a custom request as well.
I don’t know if I’m allowed to post this here..
Can I get an audit support, for admin area if everything is done correctly. I had already two different freelancer working on the blog and they encountered difficulty working on the theme.
Can someone tell me what this means?
Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete.
Name Description
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.
I hope this will not affect Theme functionality.
Thanks
Hello travisnw,
If you have not done some customization through code, it is not necessary to make the child theme because your settings will be loaded in your database and in the next update you will not loose them.
Thank you for the message!
I have been running my website with the theme, not a child theme. I have only made CSS changes within the custom CSS pane in the Theme Panel. Do you recommend that I create a child theme instead? I figured that since I’m not customizing the CSS beyond this, that there wouldn’t be any need. Please advise. Thanks!
Hello efaq,
1)Please notice that all the settings for the sidebar in the category you can find in your Theme panel. Please check the Category section for your panel and there you can find what I mean. Please notice that you have control about global category settings and per category settings, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/lqcuKZlsgtcn -> http://screencast.com/t/OiexOKCJDhj and then, the sidebar you can customize as you wish from Widgets area, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/TlH4iy7Fm For more information about this, please do not omit to read our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/
2)If you want to make the theme update full automatically, please check this tutorial here ->>
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-automatically-update-newspaper-theme/
3)You can customize your menu, only from the panel. In order to achieve as you wish, please try to read our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/main-menu/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/mega-menu/ because there you can find all the steps to configure the menu.
4)Please notice that the retina logo is only for devices that have this option, for example, Apple devices. The retina logo is used to offers you a high quality for your mobile devices while the logo mobile is a normal logo which is used for normal devices that do not have retina logo integrated. As you can see in our documentation, the header style 9,10,11 do not use the logo mobile. For more information about these settings, please check the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/logo-favicon/
5) a)As you can see, these are additional customizations and you can change the color only with some Custom CSS code. For example, you can use the following code and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS Area.
The code is ->
.td-category li:nth-child(1) a{
background-color:red!important;
}
.td-category li:nth-child(2) a{
background-color:blue!important;
}
The result -> http://screencast.com/t/k8Hr4KNDbB
b)These buttons are VIA/SOURCE/TAGS and you can have control over these only for panel, when editing the post, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/uc6Mb7uAw
c)You can edit from your panel as I said you above
d)Also, you can create your own tags only for the panel as you can see in the above screenshot
6)If you want to display a specific post, you have to get the post ID, using the inspector like this -> http://screencast.com/t/iqRwXivKt7 For more information about Block settings and filter option, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
7)The child theme come bundled with our theme and you can find it in Code file, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/P2jEwZ5L
8)Please check here what is the standard size for the footer logo. For more information about Footer section, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
9)a)If you want to set the background image, you can do that from Theme panel->Background section. Please check the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/background-introduction/
b)If you want to have the smooth effect for your scroll, please try to use our Smoot scroll feature from Theme panel. For more information, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/smooth-scroll/
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
Hi,
i wrote some questions down, which I now want to ask you.
1. How can I edit the sidebar in catogory?
2. How can I make the theme update full automatically?
3. How is the menu build? How cann I put in the different categories with posts in the menu nav? I do not know how to edit the mega menu. in wordpress -> design- -> menu it is not possible.
4. What is the difference betwenn mobile and retina mobile ? both are not working. although I put in pictures. Watch hier attach: http://abload.de/img/unbenanntczsyj.png
5. http://gefrierschrank24.net/deniz/
Here you can see two buttons called “Über” and “Quelle”.
a) How can i make the buttons coloured? Example: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-26-most-anticipated-hotel-openings-in-2016/ at the top of the post called “Lifesstyle and Travel”
b) Why is Quelle shown to me? How can i edit this? Is it a category?
c) Is it only possible, to make one source?
d) How can I cateorize in more buttons? Like here http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-26-most-anticipated-hotel-openings-in-2016/ . At Tag there are more than just one button (awesome, beauty, boys..)
6. The filter function. How is it possible, just to display one specific post. I only can choose which category I want to show. But how can i choose a specific post?
7. Where can I find the child theme? Don’t you provide a child theme?
8. Why is this picture pixelated? Like here in footer: http://mein-testgelaende.de/
What size should the picture have?
9. On my other site: http://www.meinetestdomain.com/index.php/home-page-2/ visual composer is also activated. In the middle you can see a picture ( man ) at the faq section. Here you can see this: http://abload.de/img/unbenannt17wsx8.jpg
You can see, that if you sroll down, the pictures comes fluently. So from row to row it is a fluent transition. Here two questions:
a) How can I set that background image? Why is it on my other site possible and at the newspaper site with visual composer it is not possible? Although the settings are the same?
b) How can i make that fluent transition? I tried it here, bur it is not possible.

A lot of questions 🙂
Thanks for reply 🙂
Thank you for your answer.
If I can’t use a child theme for this, it’s not very comfortable to do it again and again each time your theme is updated…
Do you think that a future update could include a kind of integrated customizations for individual posts or categories ? I saw a lot of requests on the forum about this.
According to the project, it’s very useful to put on or off some SEO or layouts attributes.
Your theme could reach the perfection with that !
😉
Hi
The above solution won’t work in child theme as td_module_single_base.php file can’t be edited via child theme. Here you can check all files which can be edited with child theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-child-theme-support/ Also when you update the theme all customizations will be lost as the old files are deleted and new theme files are added instead. You will have to keep track your customizations and re-add them again after each theme update.
Thanks!
Hi Andrei,
Does this solution needs to have a child theme ?
Or no problem when I will update Newsmag ?
Thanks,
Hi,
Unfortunately the entire wp_booster folder will not work from the child theme. We are working on updating this but at the moment it will not work. Child themes have their limits and this is one of them unfortunately.
Thank you!
Hi
@ghostmi I’ve checked your site and noticed that you’re using child theme. Try to deactivate the child theme, also deactivate all plugin except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again.
@yamuuser make sure you’re using latest theme’s version available on themeforest, V 2.3.6 and also update Visual Composer plugin at V 2.3.6 https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ clear all caches and test again.
Thanks!

Hi
Our theme is tested and works fine with child theme. However there is an important aspect that must be considered when you’reusing child theme:
– the point of a child theme is to keep the customization even if the main theme it’s updated. But this is not always valid, because once in a while the child theme it’s also updated, or if the main theme pass through a major update it’s possible that some customizations not work well anymore. Also you have to consider WordPress’s updates which might influence the way your code works. If in previous theme’s version a specific code added in child theme worked fine that doesn’t mean that will work with a new theme version. When theme update many of its files are changed and it’s a good practice to check update_log.txt file for each update and see what files had been modified so if those specific files are used in the child theme you will have to check your customizations to not break the functionality of the theme.
Thanks!
Всем привет!
Если удалить мета теги из оригинального файла “td_wp_booster_functions”, они нормально убираются из кода. Но если скопировать этот файл в дочернюю тему и удалить мета теги уже там, этот способ уже не срабатывает http://prntscr.com/at0cun
Может файл “td_wp_booster_functions” нужно помещать в дочернюю тему по другому адресу?

Hello!
If you remove the meta tags from the original file “td_wp_booster_functions”, they are normally removed from the code. But if you copy this file to the child theme and remove the meta tags are already there, this method no longer works http://prntscr.com/at0cun
Maybe “td_wp_booster_functions” file should be placed in a child theme at another address?
Hello,
I am using child theme. Could you please tell me how can I remove Theme Support from Topbar (adminbar)?
Thank you for your response, Andrei.
Updated exactly as per Tagdiv documentation. This is the 4th or 5th update since my theme purchase, and not my only site, so I am aware of the FTP process.
Also, looking at the File Manager through the cpanel shows the updated files.
De-activating the Child Theme has fixed the errors, however what do I do next to restore my site to its original look? This site has a considerable amount of customization… it looks nothing like the demo content.
The whole point of having Child Themes is to prevent the loss of customization and site settings when themes update. But it is beginning to look like your theme and its update process does not support the use of Child Themes?
Please advise on my next step.
Hi,
I’ve created a child theme since I wanted to tweak just a couple of elements.
However, I am scratching my head because I can not understand how to remove the link created in the H1 Title of the “Homepage Post” element used on a PAGE
This element is very similar to the Style 8 Template used on POSTS where the H1 title is not a link.
Thanks!
Hello,
I am customizing theme using the child theme. How can I use font-icon within the code? I have tried using <i class="fa fa-user"></i> but it doesn’t work. After checking source code in browser, I found you have added icon using <i class="td-icon-logout"></i> etc.
Can you please guide me how to use all Font Awesome icons?
