The problem is when i activate the child theme. And I followed your tutorial.
But it seems that the problem is resolved, I just disable the sidebar widgets, and when I have reactivated them, everything was resolved.
Thanks
Hello,
Do you have this problem when activating the child theme or on the original install? If the problem originates from the child theme, it means that something went wrong when you created the files. Please try to set it up following this tutorial: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Let us know how it goes!
Thank you!
Thanks for your continuous update,
As i said earlier, custom fonts are located in the same folder /wp-content/themes/WPDIV/fonts and had declared the same path in http://www.wpdiv.ml/wp-content/themes/WPDIV/old_style.css which works without any issues.
But after using the latest 6.5.1 stylesheet declarations in child theme here http://www.wpdiv.ml/wp-content/themes/WPDIV/style.css
I am currently using http://www.wpdiv.ml to troubleshot this issues..
(Note : If you need the login credentials, let me send you via email to troubleshoot further)
Expecting your kind help in this regard to get it done.
Hello, I bought your theme there as two days (very beautiful theme, congratulations :-))
I followed your instructions to create a child theme, but there appears to have a small problem, I want to clarify that I did not change any css for the moment or other, I just installed the demo, and set up child-theme.
Strangely there seems to be a bug, the elements are appeared in the footer (see screenshot).
Could you help me solve this problem?
For not being a developer, I do not understand too much, or just the problem.
thank you in advance
Hi Alin
I had setup staging website here http://www.wpdiv.ml/ (clone of http://www.wpdiv.com) and make changes in the CSS properties (by finding font-family syntax via our theme) in child theme based on your latest version of Newspaper theme 6.5.1 and here is the child them URL http://www.wpdiv.ml/wp-content/themes/WPDIV/style.css
But some reasons, i did not worked and renders the system default font instead of custom font Titillium. (Did cleared the cache before posting this reply and when i replace the old child theme style sheet http://www.wpdiv.ml/wp-content/themes/WPDIV/old_style.css custom fonts loading without any issues)
Will you please guide me the right way where i did made mistake?
Hi,
It should work also using child theme as the footer files are supported – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ Just make sure you add the file in the correct path(the same path like in the main theme) – http://screencast.com/t/O9PiBdOz
Thanks!
Hi,
I guess you use an old version of child theme and you have there a css for block title. Compare this – http://screencast.com/t/vpVH4F4zx Here is the css from version 4 – http://screencast.com/t/viA0TCCVOF
So I suggest to the latest version provided with the theme, you can find it in /code folder from files that you download from themeforest. Any old customization(code or css) have to be adjusted to work well in Newspaper 6.
Thanks!
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have any feedback on how to best setup a newsletter sign-up form in the footer? Specifically we were thinking under the social media icons on the right side.
We looked at the footer template, however, that didn’t seem so cut and dry to change in the child theme.
Thanks for any feedback or suggestions.
Hi,
You have to recreate the path of the file in your child theme. In this case it’s newspaper/header.php
We have a child theme tutorial in our documentation if you would like to read more on the subject: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thank you!
Yea, i’m working with child theme. So just copy the header.php to the child folder?
Hello,
Unfortunately there is no PHP box you can add code to. You can only edit the core files directly or with a child theme. The child theme is the safest way as you do not modify the file directly. But even if you do not use a child theme and modify the main file, you can always keep a back-up of these files if something goes wrong and simply copy them over the modified ones. (just be careful when updating the theme, look out for files that get modified in the changelog so you can adjust the modifications in the updated files as well)
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi
I’m looking for a way to add some php functions in the header, but i prefer not to do it by copy the header file to the child theme in order not to touch the code.
What is the best way?
I know there is a js and css to embed in the Theme Panel, but what about php?
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately there is no update option for the child theme. You will have to recreate it unfortunately, especially if you update from version 4 to version 6 of the theme. What we recommend to do if a child theme is used is to do a back-up of it (version 6 and up) and check to see which files were changed in the update. You will need to copy those files again and reapply your customization to the new file. The child theme cannot get updated as we have no control over what gets modified so we cannot create an update script for it.
If you have version 4 of the theme now, you will have to create a new child theme for version 6 as ALL the files were changed in this version.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hi
Sorry for the basic question, but how do I update the child theme as well?
Thanks
Hi,
I am using Newspaper in two blogs. In both I have using the Background Click Ad options with the same configuration.
In one it works ok in index:
http://foromoviles.com
And single:
http://foromoviles.com/la-garantia-de-los-moviles-mi-historia-con-lg/
But in the other it works in index:
http://faqsandroid.com/
But not in single:
http://faqsandroid.com/orange-dive-70/
I have tried changing:
- Child Theme
- functions.php
- Custom CSS
- ad links
But nothig works.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance.
Catalin,
Thanks for that link. I do believe those changes will be removed once I update the theme though, is that the correct assumption?
I am using a child theme and the td_api_plugin features for custom modules/blocks/headers/footers but was unable to find any documentation on using the API to add custom ads. Is there currently a way to do this through the API? Thanks!! 🙂
Hiya,
I’m building a site with Newspaper at the moment, and I have a couple of questions about the TagDiv gallery:
Firstly, is it possible for the pagination to stop working at the end of the sequence, rather than going round to the start again?
Secondly, on the post view (not in the lightbox view), is it possible to make the captions only appear on hover?
This is one of the gallery posts: http://cogdiss.com/lisnew/draft-gallery-post/
I’m using a child-theme on the site, and I’m reasonably confident editing files etc, I’m just not entirely sure which files to edit/how to edit them to achieve these things!
Many thanks 🙂

Hello John,
It actually depends on the version of the theme you are updating from. If you update from version 4 to 6, then all customization will be lost. If you altered the theme files, then even if you already had version 6 and update to 6.5.1 they will still be replaced in the new version if you did not use a child theme. The ‘update script’ you mentioned is only for updating from version 4 of the theme so I assume you have this version if you mentioned the scrpit. In this case, unfortunately all your customization will not work anymore.
Newspaper 6 is a whole new theme so an update from 4 to 6 may cause the same issues as switching to another theme (but we did try to maintain compatibility where ever possible).
Always make a full backup of your current installation – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups and then do 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/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ update also the plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugins folder. In the “how to update” guide is specified that you will have to run the script that will import from database your settings.
The shortcodes have been changed so old ones will not work anymore. Please note that old files customization or custom css will not work with the new version and you will have to adjust or re-add them.
Bottom line is that newspaper 6 is a whole new theme built from scratch.
The child theme is recommended for custom modifications but if the files you alter are going to be changed in a future update, you will have to check which file was modified by checking the changelog for each update and then adjust the file in your child theme if needed.
Hope this helps!
Thank you!
Where do I go to add the CSS? Is this an editor file within my WP dashboard? If so, do I just put this code anywhere in a certain CSS file?
The CSS file in the parent or child theme?
@media (min-width: 768px){
.menu-item-57 {
display: none;
}
}
—-
I found this in my parent theme CSS:
}
@media (min-width: 1019px) and (max-width: 1140px) {
.td-block-row [class*=”td-block-span”] {
padding-right: 20px;
padding-left: 20px;
}
}
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1018px) {
.td-block-row [class*=”td-block-span”] {
padding-right: 14px;
padding-left: 14px;
}
}
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.td-block-row [class*=”td-block-span”] {
padding-right: 0;
padding-left: 0;
}
}
.td-block-span4 {
/* 1/3 – used when the block is on td-3-col */
width: 33.33333333%;
}
.td-block-span6 {
/* half – used when the block is on td-2-col */
width: 50%;
}
/* responsive landscape tablet */
@media (min-width: 1019px) and (max-width: 1140px) {
Hello,
I need create a child theme for future updates in theme or i must using the “update script”?
I do not run the risk of losing my customizations?
Sorry for bad english
Greetings!
Is there a way (either through the Theme Panel in the WP Dashboard or through the child theme) to specify a default image per category if, for instance, a Post is made without a feature image?
Please let me know, with many thanks in advance!
=) Bud
Hi,
I see that you use child theme and some css added there affects also the IOS Slider – http://screencast.com/t/HXczL3LkjSQ3
Also please note that the old customization for version 4 of the theme will have to be adjusted or they will not work anymore in Newspaper 6. Please update also the child theme as we have changed the system, please check documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
So my suggestion is to update your theme to the latest version 6.5.1, update the plugins provided with the theme(especially Visual Composer) and update your child theme to the version provided with the theme, you can find it in the /code folder from files that you download from themeforest – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/
Then check if you still have this issue.
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately the config file will not be included n child theme, as far I know, but if the developers will find a solution we will implement it.
You can try this hook in functions.php file from child theme to stop loading the default theme fonts, just paste this code in the child theme functions file – http://screencast.com/t/hLPMbut3GlOH – http://pastebin.com/HjBxAmTP
Thanks!
Please note that you have to do this change in the main theme as this file cannot be overwritten via child theme.
Is it something that you consider including on a future release of the theme?
Thanks!
