Just want to point that the child theme is activated. Also, where can I change the value of the excerpt limit? I don’t see it in the code…

Well, this is very frustrating. I have strictly followed your instructions and placed the edited file on the mywebsite.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/includes/modules. Did not work. I decided then to do something not recomendable – which I do not like but it works – which was to replace the file on it’s original folder. It worked then. What can possibly be causing this odd behaviour?
You have to fully update the child theme as well, which will over-ride changes. You will need to re-apply all changes to *new* child theme. This is major theme update/UPGRADE — like a NEW theme — not a dot revision.
Content (posts/pages) not impacted by change as those are in your dbase, not in the theme.
“Layouts” and customizations, menus, sidebars will need to be reset/refreshed.

I followed the instructions for updating from version 4 to 6. It didn’t work. Luckily I set up a staging site to do this update. It’s completely broken though. Whenever I disable the child theme and activate the main theme it looks fine but obviously none of my content is there. I need help with this.
Hey Alin,
I’ve updated the child theme, cleared cache, and it worked like a charm.
Seriously you guys rock!! Thanks for the super awesome support!!

Hi,
Please check this also with the main theme and see if you still have this issue. If your page is displayed fine on mobile, please make sure that you update the child theme, as if the old version is used you may have some issues like this. I have checked your site and in page source appears 4.3 version of child theme, so please update it, you can find it in the /code folder from theme files that you download from themeforest – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/
Also here is the new child theme documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thanks!
Salut,
Nu cred ca se poate extinde clasa usor, toate locurile unde e folosita trebuie schimbate sa foloseasca clasa noua. Momentan nu ne-am gandit la o solutie care sa permita modificarea usoara a fiserului acela, este foarte multa functionabilitate legata de el si nu am resusit sa il incarc prin autoload… eventual sa adaug un if class_exists in el sa se poata inlocuii clasa cu alta via child theme
I am struggling with a persistent error with Newsmag theme and Visual Composer. I am using Visual Composer 4.6.2 and Newsmag 2.1.1 with a child theme. When adding almost any module to the row when attempting to save the settings of the module a JS error occurs.
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'save' of undefined

I have tried disabling all non-required plugins for the theme. I have used Visual Composer (same version) on other themes without any problem it seems that there is a conflict between the theme and VC
Hi,
The theme doesn’t have an option to change the gradient color and you will have to use custom css to change the color for each big grid spot. Please use browser inspector tool – http://screencast.com/t/qtwIwDjws9 You have to target something like this if you want to change this only for grid 8 – http://screencast.com/t/HKB4gtLBpq
.td_block_big_grid_8.td-grid-style-3 .td-big-grid-post-0 .td-module-thumb a:last-child:before {
background: -moz-linear-gradient(45deg, #222 0%, #4a8f5e 100%);
background: -webkit-gradient(left bottom, right top, color-stop(0%, #222), color-stop(100%, #4a8f5e));
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(45deg, #222 0%, #4a8f5e 100%);
background: -o-linear-gradient(45deg, #222 0%, #4a8f5e 100%);
background: -ms-linear-gradient(45deg, #222 0%, #4a8f5e 100%);
background: linear-gradient(45deg, #222 0%, #4a8f5e 100%);
}
This custom css is for first spot(just change to the color that you need), for the other grid spots please change td-big-grid-post-0 to td-big-grid-post-1 and so on… http://screencast.com/t/Y4tCTEbYO
Hope this helps!
Hi,
You can make these modification where you want, but please note that if you use the child theme you will have to copy the function get_views() in each module, as the td_module.php file cannot be overwritten via child theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thanks!
Thanks a lot Alin.
One more thing… Should I make the modifications in the theme files or in the child-theme files ?
Hi,
Unfortunately this file cannot be overwritten using the child theme – http://screencast.com/t/Nwx1bJ1MAKl please check documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thanks!
Hi, Tag div support
I have made Child theme of Newspaper Theme and trying to work on below file:
wp-content\themes\NewspaperChild\includes\wp_booster\td_module.php
All other files are working from NewspaperChild (Child Theme) but only “td_module.php” is not working.
Can you please guide me with this.
Thanks for your assistance in advance! Looking forward to hear from you.
Can i overwrite functions.php using child theme? Do i simply copy the function to the existing functions.php in the newspaper-child folder or do i have to use theme api?
Hi,
You can add the custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css – http://screencast.com/t/lvB0ult6 even if you use the child theme.
Thanks!
We recently made changes to the CSS of the child theme but the changes made are not displayed.
We use the sftp via FileZilla to customize the css in Newspaper-child. We replace the css file but the changes does not appear
How to solve this problem?
Thank you
Hi,
Not sure what do you mean, please check this guide how to use child theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ also you can find it in the /code folder from the theme files that you download from themeforest – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/ just install and activate it – http://screencast.com/t/4atoRzbli
Thanks!
How do I customize the search so that it is a full screen searchbar. I do not like the generic look. Also how do I get it to show my child theme and information if someone was to use a WP identifier like “wpthemedetector.com”
I cannot get YOUR child theme to load. Please help
Hi – Staging site location is http://www.VenturaClassifieds.com
I doubt that author line is commented in template files as we have left theme (and child theme) mostly in original form. Byline appears on certain posts that used the Default style (Style 1) which was set up to ingest legacy content. Moving forward, looking to use Style 2 or 3, but bylines do not appear. Are we limited to displaying author only in certain styles?

Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
Hi,
Like you can see in the child theme documentation, not all files can be modified using child theme. S I suggest to copy the file(s) that you want to modify in the child theme using the same directory structure under your child theme root path and then make your changes, so the main theme file(s) will not be affected.
Thanks!
Hi,
The easiest way would be to make the modification inside the main theme and apply it each time you update. If you want to make it from the child-theme you have to overwrite the category template and copy the get_sibling_categories method inside the file. Modify the code to make sure it works, then change the call from parent::get_sibling_categories to self::get_sibling_categories
Thank you!
Hi,
Thanks @TheMediumUTM for you help!
@The Independent please follow solution provided above, as @TheMediumUTM explained very well how you can change the code. I will just add some screenshots to help you – http://screencast.com/t/o1ij5hgOjs and it is simple to do this via child theme.
Thanks!
Hi, thanks for the additional informations.
I get a question, because I’m not a master in WP : if I work on main theme, can I copy all the content in the child directory when I have done all my modifications ? Like this it would keep all modifications, and when main theme will be updated, I will not loose my modifications, right ?
Because for what I see in the link given by Alin, I’m supposed to copy every file I want to modify, but it is impossible for me to know which one I do modify when I change something in my WP admin ? Or when it is only Under WP, it is keeped when the theme is updated ? I hope my question is clear, sometimes it is hard for me to explain something in English :/
Hi,
Yes, using the child theme you will not lose files modifications, please check child theme documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ But also Christopher has partially right, using the child theme you will have to check the update log file and see what files are changed(updated) and if your custom modifications are affected.
Please update the child theme, you can find it in the /code folder from package that you download from themeforest – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/ – http://screencast.com/t/IOwDiplRqoX
Thanks!
