Thanks. 🙂

Is there anyway i can implement a new one in a child theme? So i dont have to make the changes after each update?

OK thanks.

I hope there’s a way to change over from the main theme to the fixed child theme without losing functionality and changes made…

Always delete/clear cache before updates.

Always delete old theme folder and child theme folder for new theme; upload new folders to completely replace old ones. Delete old plugins completely, install new folders. NEVER OVER-WRITE UPDATES.

Always clear cache after making changes to core files when they are working; otherwise you are loading mix of old/new from server and things break.

If you’re unable to do anything — try switching to default theme, try disabling all plugins entirely; try resetting the plugins folder (see my “how to move to new theme” for a best practice way to update/upgrade and recover from fail).

Only put stuff at end of your functions.php in MAIN folder, NOT child theme. Only add things you know what they are — most being self-evident. If site crashes when loading edited functions.php, then roll back to your backup. If site won’t recover from that, then it’s 100% a caching problem.

Often for testing via FTP, I do

a) all caching and mod_pagespeed disabled
b) rename functions.php to xfunctions.php
c) drag over new functions.php
d) test site
e) if site won’t load; via ftp with window still open, just rename xfunctions.php to functions.php and it replaces the bad functions.php — total time 20-30 seconds.

Not sure any of that helps, but maybe some pointers in some direction.

1. – it’s from your Jetpack stats tracking.
2. – no idea…
3. – ideally you should create a set of favicons for your site in all the modern formats, like Apple pre-composed sizes and not put anything in theme and let browser auto discover the favicon files in your public root
4. – NP6 is new theme; you may have to change some CSS over-rides for new theme!
5. – for best results for speed; don’t use child theme which is CSS redirect; and change any “main colors” in your main style.css and not the theme panel custom CSS box.

For those using Newspaper 6 you may want to use the “slim” version of my suggested functions.php tweaks. Note this goes at END of file; make sure you edit only in a plain text editor and NOT MS Word; make sure you turn your caching OFF before changing any major files like this. Always keep backup. With caching off, switching back is as simple as uploading your original. If on Linux, make sure your text editor saves a Linux/unix “line breaks” and not “PC/windows line breaks.”

/*CHRISTOPHER's CUSTOM MODS - slim version */

remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_generator' ) ;
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link' ) ;
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'rsd_link' ) ;
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links', 2 );
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links_extra', 3 );

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 intended for those using the main theme, not a child theme; meaning you need to add this to the main functions.php in your main theme folder **NOT CHILD THEME FOLDER**.

Likely good time to talk to your hosting provider to check your “ownership permissions” for your setup of your account, folders, etc. — you can also do this via FTP. If you have a mis-match on who “owns” the files being uploaded via WP, if they are not in a publicly visible folder, they won’t load for the public.

I have seen odd things happen when WordPress installed from the hosting panel vs manual install, where some directories and upload folders end up “owned” by the server, or apache, or whatever and not the ftpuser.

You might also do a clean install of WP if your folders and permissions are just completely messed up; the theme doesn’t set write permissions on your WP setup.

You can can also try updating your permalinks; check your wp-config.php file for errors; try resetting your plugin folder by renaming it via FTP, etc.

Right now your style sheet isn’t even loading for your page.

Obviously you should have all caching, mod_pagespeed and similar things turned off. Use the main theme and not child theme, make sure you can even login properly, create new post, upload images, set featured images, upload file, check URL and make sure it can be loaded via browser alone, etc.

Hey,

Alin… I just tried the main theme (disabling the child theme) and the issue is fixed. Thanks for the suggestion.

Now what do I need to do in order to use the child theme without this issue? Will you guys send a FIX for the child theme?

Thanks again.

I search the forum for this problem and it turns out this is because of big grid or big slide issue (specifically when using the child theme). In my case, switching to parent theme fixed it but it is only a temporary solution. Tagdiv team is already aware of it and they should fix it in the next update.

Hi,

We haven’t updated to 6 yet and there doesn’t seem to be anything in the child theme’s functions that enqueues the css.
It looks as though the parent theme is loading it.

Can you tell me where it’s hardcoded in the parent theme so I can modify it manually until we can update?

Thanks

I have the same problem with Child Theme.

1) try disabling all plugins except visual composer
2) don’t use child theme; activate main theme
3) turn off/clear caching if using before doing anything; if using caching turn off all minification settings
4) turn off mod_pagespeed if using to clear caching
5) if using CDN server; you need to “retire/refresh” cache
6) if installing via FTP, make sure your FTP software set to automatically upload files properly (e.g., as text or binary depending on type of file)
7) make sure you have enough memory allocated; you may need to edit your wp-config.php file in your root WP folder to increase default memory from 40MB to at least 96MB (128MB recommended)

TRY #7 FIRST 🙂

See @batman post (https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/big-grid-1-and-2-problems-on-newspaper-6-and-6-1/#post-55067) which pushes the priority of enqueuing of the theme style to the bottom of the pile. Copied here for those of you following this thread:

Open up the functions.php from the child theme and add 1000 priority to the wp_enqueue_scripts action:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles', 1000);

Hopefully the tagdiv team will plug this hole shortly.

Hello fellow crime fighters,

Open up the functions.php from the child theme and add 1000 priority to the wp_enqueue_scripts action:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles', 1000);

I dont have those files … I have much less files in my /includes/wpbooster/

Also searching in explorer didnt show anything called like this?
Why do you have to many files in your wpbooster and I not?

And as it seems, you suggest a core hack. Will you change this in the next update by yourself to make the theme child-friendlier? Please make your theme child-friendly, since this is superimportant.

If not, is there also a solution to overwrite this function from within the child’s functions?
