Hello!
After installing the 2.3.5 update, I’m getting errors such as these on both the admin pages and the frontfacing site.
wp booster error:
td_api_base::mark_used_on_page : a component with the ID: td_block_1 is not set.
/home/cayenned/staging/1/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/td_api.php
And it lists just about every module there. I’ve been able to fix things in the past to get around such errors, but after patching my child theme files I can’t find the source of the problem.
Switching to the main theme is working, minus my child theme customizations, of course.
Is there something I can look for to fix this? Thank you!
– Added plugins name code
– activated Speedbooster
– cleared cache
– run Pagespeed Insights and still showing scripts and CSS to move to footer
– tested functions.php

Hello larceny,
1) Here you can see the files that were changed in 6.6.3 version http://tagdiv.com/td_deploy/Newspaper/changed_files_6.6.2_6.6.3.html and in the version 6.6.4, the only file modified was the td_wp_booster_functions.php file found here: http://screencast.com/t/oNWcNnmvIh9M
2)If you want to do a child theme, you have to install the ultimate child theme that come bundled with our theme and let’s start to customize it. For more details about this, please check our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi
Because you’re using a very old version of the theme the update process could be a bit tricky.
First make sure you do a full backup to the database and your current wp install: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups in case something goes wrong you can allays get back to the previous version. Also consider the steps I’ve provide below:
– setup a maintenance mode and you can use a plugin for that.
– empty all caches/purge files if you also use CDN host then disable any services of this type until you switch to the new theme
– disable all plugins
– install the theme then install the required plugins: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/
– switch back the rest of the plugins and make sure that they work fine with the theme, you can check this by enabling the plugins one by one then test the site.
Regarding your customizations these will be lost during the update process so you have to re-add them again in theme files or in child theme. Also make sure that the customizations are still compatible with the new theme because many files are changed and also many functions so there is a chance to appear some conflicts.
You also will need to redo your pages because in a previous version the shortcodes for blocks has been changed so they won’t work anymore. Just edit the page with Visual Composer, delete the existent blocks then re-add them again. Such that the new shortcodes will be generated and the page should be displayed fine.
Let us know how it goes and if you need further instructions please provide more details.
Thanks!
You would need to make your changes to the new files then upgrade, then make adjustments as needed post update. If using child theme, be sure to check the changelogs for files you would need to update again.
Hi,
I’m currently on v6.6.2 and would like to update to 6.6.4 however I’ve changed a number of files manually and not entirely sure everything I changed. Was wondering two things:
1) Is it possible to know which files I should update (plus plugins I should update if needed) – for each version or at least, the last two updates..
2) How would I create a child theme, assuming I can figure out the files I customized.. (perhaps by file modified date).
Thanks!
Hi
To achieve the desired result are necessary some file customizations but not in theme panel area because there the ad spots only keep the code, even if is used or not on a page/page. You have to modify the condition in which a specific ad spot it’s outputted. For example on every page the header ad is outputted by it’s specific spot so if you want a different header ad for author archive page you need to add a condition for that. Basically you change the output depending by your needs by replacing the current ad spot with a different one, if some condition is met.
The panel part of our theme can’t be modified via child theme, any customization must be made in the main theme file.
Thanks!
Hi
How is it possible to refresh to CSS child theme after changes without hit F5?
Or can I implement that via Child Theme (which came with the package) ?
Thanks.
Hi,
The only place to add custom code in our theme is inside the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/FSRmJJ14
If any of these places do not apply to your modification, then a child theme is the only other option. (If you use a child theme you will have to check the modified files in the new version and if the header and footer files are changed, you will have top add the code again. It is not a definitive method but it will save you some time on a few updates like the last fixes for the new WP versions)
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
Hello sir, i have not created any child theme in wordpress newspaper theme
what should i do now??
can you please help me?
Hello gunner05,
Please notice that the CSS are working only for the padding-bottom. As I said you above, you cannot change the left-right paddings-margins because these settings are preset by default by the Visual Composer and if you want to change these option, you will risk spoiling the layout.
http://screencast.com/t/OZcLCFGb7NXd -> http://screencast.com/t/J3wNyfx3ytBy
Please ensure you have the ultimate version of the child theme and otherwise please update it with the one that come with our theme.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
I updated to Newspaper v6.6.4 but this doesn’t seem to completely solve my pagination issue. I can click on page 3, 4 etc, but not page 2. Page 2 sends me back to the homepage.
Site: http://gfqnetwork.com/
I am using a child theme if that makes any difference.
Thanks for the detailed response! but i don’t think the CSS worked. or perhaps there is only so much margin i can remove? Also still need code to move the SIDE space between thumbs. http://nimb.ws/WrV6Kb
Btw,any idea as to why blockquotes are no longer using the default font? (which should be sue ellen)
ever since making a child theme, some odd things have been going on….
Hello,
You could use a child theme to edit the particular file but if the file will be changed you will still have to edit the code again, but it will save you some time until the file will be edited. You should save your modification in a separate file and if the module file will be changed in a future update you simply copy over the code.
Thank you!
Hey Bogdan B.
So after following your
advice, it still didnt work, please note i was setting up my website localy. i did however find the cause of the error, i had activated the child theme and thus when i tried installing the demo content it did not work until i switched back to the main theme.
im now good to go.
Hi
Unfortunately the files from booster can’t be moved in child theme. Now the only way is to modify the main theme file, but make sure you backup your current install before making any changes.
We intend to improve the child theme support for our theme in the feature.
Thanks!
Hi
To increase the pagination size try this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/nd5mUBX5F
.page-nav a, .page-nav span, .page-nav:first-child > div{
font-size: 25px;
min-width: 50px;
line-height: 40px;
}
Also you can check this link, I’ve posted here a solution about how can be added Next/Prev links to pagination: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/pagination-5/
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hi..
depending of the post type I want to output text rather than the date.
I’ve allready implemented this on a previous installation of the theme and modified the core files to archive that. I’m currently updating the site on a developer installation and am looking for ways to not modifiy the core if possible. The child implementation has become a lot better in v2, but still doesn’t allow for all needed modifications.
Cheers
Hello,
Unfortunately the files from wp-booster do not work from the child theme. Sorry.
Thanks.
Can we also put this mod in our child theme and how?
Hello
With Newsmags comes a childtheme.zip folder
With Newspapers come only a childtheme folder including files – But no zip folder ?
Is this correct, and why ?
Thank You
Hello, I’m using Newsmag with a custom child theme. I want to remove the “Tweets” custom post type entirely. How do I do that?
Hello Lynden,
I suppose you are referring to have a drop-down menu in the ajax filter for each child of the category. Unfortunately, our theme does not have this option implemented. The ajax filter will display inline all the categories/subcategories
wich are selected from the panel. Maybe it is possible to achieve what you want but is required custom work. If you are not aware the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to do this for you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!
If is not what you mean, please provide more details about your problem, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi
You can find the install info along with more useful informations in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ Also you can find the child theme in Newsmag-tf/code http://screencast.com/t/oOwyJyKK9iiv
If this is not what you mean please provide more details so I can get back to you with a more accurate answer.
Thanks!
