Hi
We plan to improve the child theme system in Newsmag theme. However adding the files from wp-booster in child theme is a difficult task and require many investigations and lot of time. I can’t say for sure if we can do this or when this will be done, but we will do our best to find a solution.
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to make all links in a post clickable without having to make each one a link with the link icon in the editor. Similar to the function make_clickable ( string $text ).
Is there a setting in the theme for this? Or do I need to update/modify the loop-single.php file in a child theme or something similar?
Thanks,
Jeff
ok thank you. Would be cool if the “includes” could be child theme ready in the next update 🙂
Unfortunately not, you would have to edit it in main theme’s files. Please check the child theme ready here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
1) Unfortunately if you have custom modifications made to the code/theme files, this will be lost in the process. Other settings that were not hard-coded are kept in the database so they will not be lost.
2) We cannot offer any freelance services at the moment nor can we recommend any good developers. We usually recommend freelancers from envato: (studio.envato.com)
3) You can use a child theme if you plan on making custom modifications. That will save you the customization for a few updates. Unfortunately if the file you modify will be changed in an update, you will have to remake your customization. We recommend keeping track of your modifications and backing them up in a separate file so if you need to remake them , you can simply copy the code over.
Thank you!
Hello larceny,
The child theme helps you to keep the changes made by you for the future update but if your modified files are not changed by the theme in this update. Please notice that the style.css file is changed in every update and it is necessary to update your child theme that come bundled with our theme on every update to works well. If your files changed are different to files changed by the theme you have to replace only those files in the child theme.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hi
@paty0323 please note that is a public forum and any one can see the information posted here, so I removed your login details.
Make sure you did a clean update, meaning that we recommend that you delete the old version of the theme before uploading the new one – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ update also the plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugins folder. If you’re using child theme deactivate it during the update process, switch to default wp theme.
During the update process deactivate all plugins, and after the update is complete enable them back one by one and cheek if the site’s functionality is affected or not by one of your plugins.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hi,
perfect it work! Thank you! Is td_config child theme ready?
Thanks!
Problem has been solved.
If you are interested, the problem was in single_template_7.php file, which I copied to child theme to modify. But since the new version of Newspaper, the javascript function was changed/renamed and JS-call inside this file (single_template_7.php) was outdated.
I think it’s very bad idea to put javascript codes inside customizable files… I suggest developers to put this call somewhere else, in the core, to improve child-parent and old/new versions compatibility
Ok so you’re basically saying – its best to just get a list of files updated for each version and update all of those (assuming they are not the ones you customized, and at that point, you’ll need to update and then make the same changes) ??
In other words, the child theme – wouldn’t be that helpful in this situation?
What about after I make the file updates (assuming they aren’t the files customized by me). How do I get the theme to show that its of the proper update version – just so I can keep track of where I’m at?
Thanks!
Hi
Unfortunately the files from booster platform can’t be edited in child theme, so the only way is to edit the main theme file. For more information regarding the child theme support with our theme please check our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-child-theme-support/
Thanks!
Hello eduardopfreire,
Please try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td_block_big_grid_5 .td-big-grid-post {
padding-top:0px;
}
.td_block_big_grid_4 {
padding-bottom: 45px;
}
.td_block_big_grid_4 .td-big-grid-post:first-child {
padding-bottom:0px;
}
}
The result -> http://screencast.com/t/d7vdujKCO
Hope this helps!

Hi.
Thank you for your help, but there is a little problem yet.
Search preview works now, but only if I changed a file in a main theme. It doesn’t works for a child theme. Why?
Salut baieti, Am si eu o intrebare. Vreau sa inserez un banner sub menu, unde asi putea sa fac asta? (Mentionez ca inca am varianta de 4.2 a temei.) Multumesc.
http://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609/comments?page=332&filter=all#comment_11851577
Nu folosesc o tema specific, am cread cred ca child theme-ul 🙂
Inca o intrebare, nu este cumva posibil ca la versiunile urmatoare sa fie inserat si un Banner la Ads care directioneaza parte de sub meniu?
Hello craigtran,
Yes, if you did an update and the files that you has in your child theme are affected by the update the child theme will not working. You have to do a backup before and try to customize it again.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hello jinkyu2,
Yes, you have followed the right steps for your child theme. Now, please check our documentation here https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ to find which are the files that can be modified in the child theme.
Thank you for the message and thank you for your interest for our theme.
Hello larceny,
If you want to have the ultimate update, it is necessary to replace only the files that are changed and style.css file.
The child theme saves you a few updates but please notice that it no replace in totality the updates. When the update is coming, please ensure what kind of files are changed and if the files are exactly those that you have in your child theme you have to customize again your child theme.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
I found it. using your solution is exactly what I needed. Thanks for that.
But if I upgrade them theme, will this wipe-out? Do I have to copy this file to my childtheme?
I found child theme file which is located “code” folder.
I send Child theme file to server by FTP and activated.
It works.
Is it all i need to use Child theme?
Hi,
We are having a difficult time with our mandatory PCI compliance scans as several of the “vulnerabilities” it detected reference the login popup: “Web Application Transmits Login Credentials Without Encryption”
We have an SSL certificate properly installed on the site but it doesn’t seem to recognize the javascript login window and credentials are being passed using clear-text protocol.
Running WordPress 4.2.5 and Newspaper 4.6.1 (child theme). Would appreciate any suggestions you may have with regard to code modifications or options to resolve.
Thanks so much!
If I update just the files changed in those two new updates – will it update the version it thinks I’m running, or do I need to edit that somewhere?
Regarding a child theme – I’ll take a look at the tutorial thanks! If I’m customizing maybe 3-4 files in the theme, do you think that would warrant such a step to make future updates more easily? I guess I’m asking, is all that work worth it – or does it even work as such, meaning I can just make sure those 3-4 files are not touched?
Good Day,
I have a developer that is making custom modifications to the theme. I’d like to get a qualified backup developer who can help maintaining theme updates since child theme support is not fully enabled.
Could you suggest a reputable and reliable developer who does contract work?
Brett
Hello,
You can use a simple css trick to hide the comments from the menu:
.menu-item-116719 .fb_iframe_widget_fluid, .menu-item-116719 h3:nth-last-child(3), .menu-item-116719 p:nth-last-child(2){
display:none!important;
}
Simply add the code in your cusotm css box in the theme panel.
Thank you!
Technically you can’t very easily … since they are child categories and designed to show the child and child’s child.
Not a theme issue.
In theory, you could create a custom template for the two parent categories with custom loop to EXCLUDE the nth child category in results, but likely need to get programmer to help you with that.
Might want to read up on the WordPress docs/codex on how categories work — as it’s common with all themes as that is part of WP and not the theme.
Hi
I’m not aware to which files you made customizations using the child theme but you also have to make sure your changes can still be applied to files now present on latest theme version that’s why you have to check each theme update change log and make sure that among the modified files there aren’t any of the files you have customized and if there are make sure your customizations can still be done to those files and update those files code and add it customizations.
Thanks!
