I don’t use child theme though,can that patch work with out…

I never used v6, just went straight to v6.1 and am waiting until the next release after v6.2 since I’m sure one is coming very soon to fix that title issue you experienced. But it’s been happening the whole time, on both the main and development sites I run.

I can’t figure out why, though. The child theme is so bare and includes nothing to alter the images at all. There’s likely a function somewhere in the parent theme that is causing it, but the developers are the only ones who know for sure.

Here’s a patch to hold us over until they fix the child theme issue. In Advanced CSS enter these values:

Desktop –

.td_block_18 .td-column-2 .td-module-thumb {
  height: 378px;
}

iPad Landscape –

.td_block_18 .td-column-2 .td-module-thumb {
  height: 350px;
}

That fixes the problem in a backwards way and keeps everything responsive for all devices. Hopefully we can get a true fix soon, though.

function no_errors_please(){
return 'You appear to be up to no good. Please stop now!';}
add_filter( 'login_errors', 'no_errors_please' );

function remove_cssjs_ver( $src ) {
if( strpos( $src, '?ver=' ) )
 $src = remove_query_arg( 'ver', $src );
return $src;
}
add_filter( 'style_loader_src', 'remove_cssjs_ver', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'script_loader_src', 'remove_cssjs_ver', 10, 2 );

add_filter( 'jpeg_quality', create_function( '', 'return 50;' ) );

This is the combined block of code (including the emoji removal mentioned above) that goes at the END of the functions.php file.

@neotrope Not sure why you said that code can’t go into the child theme. I’m running the child theme and inserted this into the functions.php file inside the child theme directory and it’s working spectacularly. Do you mind elaborating on why you emphasized that so much?

Thanks for codes @neotrope and @fudoki

Not sure how this helps since this applies without any modifications to the child theme, but it only happens when the child theme is active. Switching to the parent theme only removes this grey bar and the resizing.

I hear you Chris. And I’m reconsidering. I mean, the child theme works flawless on the main site (NP4), just something not configured the right way on NP6.

Lucien, now that we know the site works when I activate the main theme, does that help triangulate what could be incorrect in the child theme?

Thanks Alin,

will this work if I copy the header-style-1.php file to my child theme parts/header folder?

I have changed memory as such:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M');

no change.

It is a clean install, am using main theme not a child theme. I have turned of all plugins besides VC. As for the logo problem, I have uploaded it to the media library with WordPress admin panel so it changes the path successfully on the Theme Panel and saves just fine but then when I view the site, no changes have taken place even after I clear my cache in browser. I can change it only if I upload it directly in cPanel or FTP it in but I shouldn’t have to do that lol. And nothing else I do in Theme Panel reflects any changes either, I can modify top bar, header, ad codes and pretty much everything else and even tells me it has saved successfully but then when viewing the site… no change.

Did you increase memory in your wp-config.php file?

Did you do clean install vs just move it ?

Use main theme, not child theme.

Turn off all plugins except VC.

Make sure you changed the domain name in anything which used that, like internal links to images, etc.

I personally don’t use child theme due to CSS redirect and unexpected gremlins…. oh, like in this case 🙂

Hi Alin,

I am having the same problem and I am using the child theme. I am using 6.2 (latest release) and all plugins are updated and being used. Tested turning off all plugins as well. It works great in the main newspaper theme when I change it to that theme, but it breaks when I activate the child theme. I think there is an issue with the child theme. I have tested different grids in the lower main content areas and they appear to work. It is that first grid at the top of the page.

You can use my test site to test.. http://test.paleoctopus.com

Not trying to Hijack your thread Mark.. 🙂 Just thought I can help us both get the answer a little faster as I have already done a bunch of testing and we are having the same issue.

Cheers,
Will

Thanks Lucian,

When I switched to the normal theme, the posts populated. So something’s definitely incomplete with the child theme’s setup.

One thing I haven’t done yet is implement the API part of this new theme.

The instructions are a little too technical for me. But could this be the reason the child theme isn’t working right?

Here’s an image of the child’s functions.

(I’m about to install 6.2)

Thanks again for the help.

Thank you for the tip about ordering subcat in the megamenu !
How could I apply it in the child theme context ?

Hi,

Also i need old version of child theme, in last downlaod i found only main theme archive

Also ref Child Theme issue…I’m using 6.1….

Time to add mine into the mix here. I just updated so I’m using Newspaper v6.1 and the child theme.

Inside The Star

I opted to go for sleek design attributes and dug apart the default styles. Features include:

• Transparency on all container backgrounds
• Full size fixed background image representing my site’s primary subject (Dallas Cowboys NFL Team)
• Custom widget title blocks
• Custom link colors on post templates with darker headers
• Custom sharing buttons; removed default Pinterest button and replaced with a Reddit button
• Using Open Sans and Roboto in a few places like menus and widgets, and using Merriweather for content and some titles, but Oswald for all headings and most titles.

I’m pretty pleased with how it came out and, of course, thanks go to tagDiv for revamping the theme in such a way that this was so easy to do. Seriously loving the speed of the theme, even with ads and outside javascript like an audio player loaded.

Comments and feedback welcome.
