Hi,
What about creating a way for us to make code customization that would not be erased when updating.
If not with child themes then maybe by using git?
like this thread I found?
http://frankie.bz/#use-git-to-update-your-customized-wordpress-themes-safely
Thank you
Hi there,
I uploaded the 2.0 update and imported the demo then I created a child theme.
When activated, the child theme is quite different from parent whereas I brought no modifications in either themes and particularly child theme brings the logo + text that appears in the footer of parent version in the top header menu and I don’t know how to take it off.
I also noticed html codes for the 2 pages parent & child were very different. I don’t undestand why, as child theme imports css from parent without any change for the moment.
Thank you for your help.
Can someone please tell me the css to use on the child theme to change the color of the main menu text? Thanks!
Hello,
The Child theme should work fine for CSS. Try with !important on CSS in some case and see if works.
Thanks for the message!
Yes, i found it. i think main menu is not a fixed menu in mobile like desktop, So there wont be any problem with the 2 menus on top of the page. now i had used responsive menu plugin and made top menu as responsive and works great. š
But i am having issues with the child theme style.css. styles i am adding there are not overriding the main styles. Can you tell me why it is happening.
Thanks for the support.
Hi there – I have discovered that error occurred because of a duplicate css style – I hadn’t changed the style but it was present in my child theme style sheet. Once I removed it the icons show up.
However – is there a way to change the colour of the icons to white? Or will I need to replace the images to do that?
Just for a point of reference on our test site under development, with 1.7.2, and no caching or tagdiv/optimizer plugin enabled. This is neither a complaint, nor solution, just an indicator of another look at “speed” on a “typical” review article page online, based in U.S.
Test article page
http://ga-ga.com/785/discwatcher-watching-films-at-home-spring-2013-a-good-day-to-die-hard/
Google Page Speed = 96 / YSlow 73* (desktop; not showing mobile results)
Page load time: 6.46s
Total page size: 2.19MB
Total number of requests: 106
*NOTE: huge number of “errors” due to GOOGLE ads/cookies/etc. with embedded YouTube video and two AdSense ads (top/right) and social media crap. Unrelated to theme.
PAGE HAS: 3 large images in article; two content blocks right side with 3 thumbnails each (6 images) and the 2 related content items below story. Total 11 images plus gravatar, and 2 logos.
14 images, 2 ads, youtube video; Google Page Speed “96” — not too shabby!
Main issues have to do with Google elements, and social media stuff. One javascript file could be compressed; YSlow hates the @style load of CSS via child theme (sigh). Images could be slightly more compressed (option to set compression level via functions file?).
For those looking at Google Page Speed vs “load time” or “payload” … ALWAYS test your “page speed” with AdSense stuff removed or you will always get upset with any WP site ranking/rating/testing. In our case, the above “96” with Google Page Speed is pretty amazing, frankly. 6 second load time, not so much (anything over 4 sec would be considered “bad” these days), but caching plugin and CDN may help with that immensely. Yslow pretty much “demands” a CDN for top speed ranking.
Our goal is 3 sec. max time for a page like that (avg 2.6 sec would be acceptable based on how some of our other sites work) and if/when I get to that, I’ll share our method of optimization, if anybody will want to know.
— PLUGINS:
* all jetpack OFF
* WP-Optimize (speed up your DB by optimizing it!)
* Akismet with site license
* Limit Login Attempts (a must!)
* Regenerate thumbnails
* WordPress SEO by Yoast
* bare minimum tagdiv provided plugins (e.g., animated GIF resize)
Offminded, where did you put that .widget ? In the child theme css?
Just heads up to folks worrying about page speed, one great resource you may already be aware of is my friends at GT in Canada who built a neat testing tool years back, here: http://gtmetrix.com/
Paste in any page URL from your site, such as a post page, and it will tell your speed scores with Google PageSpeed and Yahoo Yslow – but also give you suggestions on various things you can fix; particularly useful is looking at number of calls for some plugins that “dial out” for avatars, social media, etc.
Keeping in mind that most WP themes may have too many calls to CSS files, and some plugins add more, which they shouldn’t (I’ve got one called ‘external links’ right now, and not using any of the CSS in the plugin, but he still loads another style sheet, not needed – having to bug him to remove that …) …
Anyway… it’s a good reference to some of the issues folks run into prior to optimization. YOu can create free account, then run a scan, and then when you tweak, you can come back and rerun test, and see improvements over time.
It’s more useful than running Google Page Speed insights, as it actually provides tips and exmaples on how to actually address each issue, along with explanations – which Google does in a roundabout or confusing way or not at all (meaning Google penalizes your page speed for their own AdSense content … which is hilarious … “you should fix this” – and it’s their content that needs fix!).
I’ve spent 3 months optimizing our main business site (not using WordPress) which has been an adventure; now starting on the WordPress stuff.
I can tell you from experience that Radu and co are doing an amazing job with optimization within the confines of the WordPress setup which inherently has numerous flaws for SEO, like the method for CSS redirect used in the child themes (WP core devs keep using a method not recommended by the rest of the universe … for example).
So, there is a *lot* going on with WP, which *no* theme maker can fully address, only tweak and you need to research common problems and workarounds for *ALL* WP based installs when concerned with Page Speed.
For instance, I do *NOT* use JetPack myself as it “phones home” all over the place and slows things down. SO, every little spinning widget and flashing light and cannon blasting all slow down the page. If you want the most speed with WP, you need to have the simplest layout possible, ala Newspaper, for this kind of site, and then optimize the heck out of all your images, minimize anything that calls out to other sites (like FB comments box), certain JetPack things, and anything that doesn’t run in async with javascript, and avoid plugins which add more CSS style sheets and can’t inherent code, or properly write custom CSS into the head INLINE, not as yet another external style sheet!
Just some suggestions, somebody may find useful as a WP user since 2005, and webdev since 1994.
Hello,
please try to add this code in the child theme:
/* responsive portrait tablet */
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1018px) {
.post .entry-thumb {
width:220px;
}
}
/* responsive phone */
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.post .entry-thumb {
width:120px;
}
}
What does this mean
1. Child themes are partially supported. You can override the css and the template files. You canāt override our code.
what can I override, what can’t I, I do not understand
can I use child theme for?
functions.php
/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/app/modules/module_modifier/td_module_blog.php
/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/content_builder/td_module.php
You talked on the forum/email with Marius and it was pointed out to me that you requested a lot of things / modifications. From my first look I believed that you want those thing made to work with your plugin. Also the messages before that requested modifications that would have been incompatible with our existing install base.
Regarding your message here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/featured-video-and-dailymotion/#post-1614
1. in general they are good suggestions but I can’t promise you that we will do the.
2. the scroll script is custom made by us. It’s much better than other themes, one of the only ones that listens to mouse scroll and touch to stop the scrolling when you want. I don’t know if it’s possible to use it on comment too but we will try it out.
3. that is difficult to make (to work on all the the different hosting environments that our clients have)
4. this is a bug, will be fixed asap
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/featured-video-and-dailymotion/#post-1915
1. Child themes are partially supported. You can override the css and the template files. You can’t override our code.
2. A lot of the themes don’t use the core wordpress functions for seo reasons and customization.
3. It’s still on our todo list.
4. that is a custom request. We will not do that.
5. “just need you to make a few switches in the theme options” our theme would have been a giant spaghetti code if we would have done that with all of the suggestions / customization requests from our clients.
Please know that we have to reply to over 50-60 request per day (email tf and here). We try our best to help all the people but when it comes to feature request/custom work we have to pick carefully what gets included in the theme and what not. We also have to set priorities – daily motion integration is not a top priority issue – I already tryed some time before to integrate it (you can still see old code in our file /includes/class/td_video_support.php) and it was not working very well due to the small thumbnails served by them (not useable on any of our sliders and form what I can remember smaller than our thumbs as well).
I do think that the single page and a lot of the templates can be improved… I realized that after seeing your problem with our theme some time ago.
In general once people are abusing our support system we don’t reply anymore since we are not obligated to but I do believe that you came here with good intentions and if it wasnt for the miscommunication with my colleague we would have started off with a much friendlier vibe š . Please accept my apologies and if you want we can start all over again.
I am going to sleep now, it’s 1.07 AM here

many of the features I am asking for were already promised by you a long time ago:

Ok, thank you for your reply. Current theme supports the input via custom field to video as featured image. So embed fuction takes code from custom field (where also code / link for youtube video and others can go) which is then inserted where with image posts you get featured image in post.tagDiv

Iāve added this to the todo list ā we already have a custom field that works with youtube, vimeo, daily motion but it also pulls the thumb automatically. I will make it work with embed codes also.Radu from tagDiv

Hello,Yes the theme have a Child theme ready to be used.
Thanks for your message, Marius from tagDiv
once more, I am not asking for you todo special customization for me.
I am asking you to help me, and tell me if my code is correct or if it could have been done better.
And I am stuck because your theme does not let me create a childtheme for customization, is not using core wordpress functions to get the images, that is the only reason I really need support.
Why are you not compatible with wordpress core? and why when asked about these non pleasant questions do you flee?
Hi,
I believe you are confusing this thread with another one.
- your theme does not support child themes and does not have an option to make modifications without them being overidden when updating the theme
- You are not using core wordpress functions to get the thumbnails, therefore plugins cannot hook into your featured images
- You have told me and others before that you will add dailymotion support
- I am not asking for custom work! I am asking for a way to display the thumbnail in the video post and the video at the bottom with an onclick scroll to video. And just said that if you would add the video icon as a watermark it would be better and faster
- I have given you the solution, just need you to make a few switches in the theme options so everyone could have this option and it would not break upon update, I am not one of those who waits until he is fed
- ….. please read my questions again
Like the theme in general and I am one of those who is willing to help others, so please help me

Hi,
Can you please explain what you mean by
and check if we update the files modified by you
Thank you
PS: I am still waiting for help, its been days.

Hello,
The child theme work at this moment only with CSS.
On all updates we want to publish a patch with changed files and check if we update the files modified by you.
Thanks
Sometimes I need to update the php files under includes directory. When I put these updated files into the child theme’s folder, they don’t work. But changing the original files in Newspaper directory makes the changes to be lost after updating the theme.
Sorry, it turned out to be easy fix. Just the widgets that had swapped places.
Hey. I need some help. After activating the Child theme things kind of moved around. The sidebar swapped position with the top social icon area.
The sidebar used to placed inside the .span4.column_container, now instead there is the whole div of .td_block_wrap.td-social-wrap.td-social-wrap-32
(sorry… having a bad day over here ….. )
HI … just to clarify I’m not misunderstanding:
the functions.php in child theme should over-ride core WP functions as normal – correct? But may not over-ride “theme specific” functions.
I think I can live with that (whew) š
