I did update the child theme, but still couldn’t get it to work! Even when I included nothing in the directory except for the below style.css file, no content would show on my page.
I’m curious whether anyone else has experienced this?
Chris, I appreciate hearing that it just might not be worth it to use a child theme at this stage in the theme’s development…maybe I will just let myself off the hook for now and try to implement it during a later version!

Hi,
Unfortunately you will need to update also the child theme like Christopher suggested, as you have updated the theme from version 3 of Newspaper and there were some changes as you can see in the update_log.txt file(from theme files downloaded from themeforest).
Thanks!
Remember you need to update the child theme also; so many things changed from v3 to v4; you need to use the v4 child theme.
This is why I don’t use child themes, and simply mod the main version and keep track of my mods. Child themes are only useful if the theme is fully mature and the child theme won’t get a whole bunch of changes to keep pace with development.
So, generally with many themes going from a full version number, means the child theme has to be updated too.
If that doesn’t apply to you, sorry to butt in … 🙂
No, I just activated the main theme instead because I couldn’t get the child theme to work.
I just upgraded to 4.6.2 from 3.0.1. With the previous version, I was successfully using a child theme, but after the upgrade it’s not working. Simply no content displays on the page, though the backend still runs fine. Even when I deleted everything in the child theme directory except for style.css I just get a blank page. But when I view page source I see everything there. Any ideas?

Is there any documentation on how to impliment a custom layout block. I already know to use the child theme for customizations..
I’m looking for something similiar to Block 3 (which is 3 images with title below stacked) but I want it full width (image cropped but full width – similar to the slide) and also add 4 – 6 lines of the excerpt.
I tried searching the forums and didn’t come up with anything yet so I appologize if this has been asked before.
i placed my code into another spot custom ad 1
then i called it in ads.php (in child theme) instead of header spot
i used code for displaying images with table :
<table >
<tr>
<th>
</th>
<th>
</th>
</tr>
</table>
now i have two images in a row, and i am trying to css them separetly, maybe there was a better way to do this, but this is how i done it for now 🙂
also, i tried to write css in my child theme (style.css), it had no effect, later tried with custom css in theme panel which was ok
Hi,
Unfortunately this file cannot be overwriten by child theme so you have to make this change in the main theme. We have changed the child theme system for which we will have a documentation available soon. I cannot tell you exactly if you will be able to edit this file with the new system, but we will try to add this in future updates.
Thanks!
Hi folks,
We were previously overriding the get_post_pagination function in td_module_single.php but since the move to wp_booster/td_module_single_base.php it seems we can’t override the function from a child theme in the same way.
Is it still possible or must we now edit the main theme ? I’d rather avoid it if I could.

Hi.
I have created my own danish .po files and put them into the translation folder as da_DK.po and da_DK.mo But it still uses the google translated syntax.
I have it both main and child-theme
Any ideas?

Hi,
If you have any code custom modification please remove it and if you use child theme also switch to the main theme. Also try this without any plugins active, leave only Visual Composer active, empty cache and check if you still have this issue.
Thanks!
Hi everyone, I’m new to this forum and downloaded the newsMag theme yesterday.
My current site is on wordpress 4.1.1, and I think newsMag successfully installed.
When I go to ‘live preview’ newsMag – theme doesn’t load and shows up as white blank screen.
Anyone have a solution or experienced the same thing?
The current theme my site is on is hueman (with child theme). http://www.goproace.com
I have disabled all plugins except the ones recommended for hueman theme.
Hello,
OK, thanks, it works – I didn’t copy every light blue item in my Child Themes style.css.
Thanks

Hi,
1. If you want to remove smooth scrolling please follow this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/remove-smooth-scrolling/#post-23634 Unfortunately this cannot be removed using child theme.
2. You can use custom css to hide the read more button in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/rGVfaCnw4
.more-link-wrap{
display: none;
}
Also you can remove it from the code if you don’t want to use css: http://screencast.com/t/l8K0UzXE
Thanks!
I love this theme but there are a few things that I want to remove from the theme. I am using Newspaper child theme. These are the following things that are causing problems for me:
-
1: I personally don’t like the smooth scrolling effect. How Can I remove it from via child theme.
2: I want to remove the read more button.
Please provide the support asap.
Hi,
The “Node” is empty warnings doesn’t mean much – it means there’s no child schema elements inside that parent – you won’t be penalized for something like that at all.
I’ve noted this as I also noticed this on our demo site and we’ll fix this in next theme updates.
Thanks
Hi everyone,
Is there a way to use custom post template for specific post category?
I did like this:
Created function in functions.php which gets post slug and tries to find file single-{slug}.php.
If such file exists it uses it for template.
As in Newspaper theme post templates are not formed in usual way (as default WordPress does) I cannot find the right code to paste in single-{slug}.php. I just need it to work correctly like loop-single.php template.
I see, that template is formed from header->header-style->loop-single files. But when I try to combine the code inside single-{slug}.php it breaks the layout.
Of course I can keep searching for bugs and finally fix them, but maybe it is some other … more easy way to make it work.
I don’t know if it matters, I’m using childtheme.
Thank in advance.
Hi,
Unfortunately this file cannot be overwritten by the child theme. Sorry!
Hello,
I have integrated a Google Custom Search Engine into my site (seattleglobalist.com), running a Newspaper 3.0.1 child theme.
On the results page, the Google search results appear — and then the built in Newspaper results appear below. How can I hide the Newspaper results?
No RTL?! Even with child theme?
We invested so much time building websites and You are abandoning us just like that? What’s the background of this decision?! What do we do now?
I am trying to fix the problem I am having with the Big Grid. In some of the post the pictures get downsized by a grey gradiant. When the gradiant is in place you cant make out the text due to the text being white. I want the Big Grid to appear like in the Demo Version. Things I have done. 1. added Thumbnail Upscale plugin. 2.added same posts to the big slider block. The photoS will enlarge to fit slider, so dont know why a photo would not enlarge to the smaller grids of the Big Grid.
3 Added .td-image-gradient:before{
background: transparent;
}
.td-module-thumb a:last-child:before{
background: transparent !important;
}
into your custom css section on theme panel.
None Have worked
Hi,
I’ve checked your site an noticed some errors in your console that the “no image” thumb for the search thumb: http://screencast.com/t/G544oagpxpFt isn;t gounf: http://screencast.com/t/i3ZW5seKTk4 however I’m not sure how as long as the other posts under have the “no image” thumbnail.
Doing another search this errors don’t show up anymore just this js error referenced to the child theme: http://screencast.com/t/dYOgTxg16WVE
I suggest you also try this using to the main theme.
Let me now how it goes!
Thanks
After 9 years with WordPress and 20 years with webdev… and the sticky post in this forum on how to upgrade the theme … um, yeah… I updated it with fresh version.
I have to do completely fresh version as I tweak the theme for some minor things like custom field for hit counter, remove the XLRPC thing from header, minify the style.css, remove the breadcrumbs from search template, and put in our custom functions for optimization and disabling some things like not loading the visual composer CSS on post pages, etc.
So, in theory all things being equal the 1.7 site should behave just like the 1.6 sites except with lazy loading on top.
And I never use child themes, and all files are uploaded with Linux/unix line breaks vs windows, etc.
(I’m an advanced user …. obviously …)
Hence my … what the hell, man reaction with the ENC site.
So… going to roll that back once I get couple more client things done.
Basically going to use our tweaked 1.6 version – same exact thing running musewire.
Of course the dbase for ENC is hideously huge, and 10x the size of musewire, but other than that …
We have 32GB RAM, 12 cores of XEON power, and dedicated gigabit switch in Class A datacenter (SoftLayer) … so, we’ve got the juice.
ENC has 512MB allocated to PHP. So… may I just say … “sheesh!” 🙂
Hi,
Unfortunately the block files can’t be overwritten using child theme, you can see the list of files that can be overwritten using the child theme here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-documentation/
If you want to do this you need to make this changes into the main theme files.
Thanks
