Read section A. Update the theme via FTP.
Also: be sure to make a backup before, just to be safe.
I’m doing it right now, thanks.
When you release an update I have to upload the “Newspaper” folder via FTP and it will be OK? I don’t have to change anything in the Newspaper-child, right?
Hello ds-2,
Please keep in mind that we every time recommend to our customers that before doing a theme update to do a full backup to the database to avoid losing all of the data. We do not recommend to update the theme using the Envato Toolkit plugin because it’s not the reliable way and might appears some errors, sorry! Please update the theme via FTP way because this is the surest and healthy way for updating your theme. Please follow the steps from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ Try to recreate your pages using only the TD Composer and remove the Visual Composer shortcodes. This tutorial can help you -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
OK, I red the documentation, thanks!
Via FTP I add the Newspaper-Child, previously extracted from the themeforest-5489609-newspaper file. Inside this file, in a folder called CODE I found the “Newspaper-Child” folder. That’s the folder that I upload into the “public_html/wp-content/themes”
There I have 2 folders now: Newspaper and Newspaper-child.
Then I have to go to the WP administrator and I have to activate the “Newspaper-child” theme. That’s allright?
After that I have to update the Newspaper folder (in wp-content/themes) via FTP with the themeforest-5489609-newspaper file and that’s all?
Thanks for your time.
Hello grochu,
Make sure that you are using the latest version of the theme installed via FTP way, remove all of the untested plugins, clear all the caches and check the results. If the problem is still there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further investigate it closer your setup page. Also, provide CPanel access to any further investigations.
Thanks for your understanding!
Thanks for your reply, Catalin.
So… I’ll download the latest Newspaper Theme and upload it via FTP like this tutorial shows it and I will not lose anything? I already has a “newspaper” folder in the wp-content/theme. What about the “theme child”? I have to create it? I have to disable the cache in order to do this?
All customization that I did was via the Newspaper Theme Panel. I will lose it too? What’s the “theme core files”?
Thanks for your time and sorry for all this question. I don’t have the knowledge.
Hello dhcosta,
First of all, I will thank you for your kind words and we are happy seeing happy customers!
Please keep in mind that we every time recommend to our customers that before doing a theme update to do a full backup to the database to avoid losing all of the data. We do not recommend to update the theme using the Envato Toolkit plugin because it’s not the reliable way and might appears some errors, sorry! Please update the theme via FTP way because this is the surest and healthy way for updating your theme. Please follow the steps from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ Also, if you want to customize your theme, we do not recommend to edit the theme core files because the next update will overwrite all of these files and you will lose all of your custom modifications. You should use the child theme and for this, before using it, you should read the documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
You can simply update normally, no need for a step by step update. Update by FTP and replace the old theme with the new one
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Be sure to make a backup before, just to be safe. Also review the theme requirements
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
And check the theme changelog (bottom of the page)
– https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609
Thanks
Hi,
There should be a notification in the theme system status panel when an update is available, also you should receive an email.
These would be the theme update methods and useful advice before making an update
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
The most recommended and reliable update method would be by FTP.
Thanks
Hello royyan,

Hi Simion,
alright I try to get rid of some plugins, thanks. But now I get a 500 error after activating the td cloud library.
System Status looks green all over, all plugins are deactivated, only TD Composer is active. When I now activate TD Cloud library the screen goes directly to 500 error message. I don’t get why it is so hard this time to get everything running.
I am lost, right now. I already spend a lot of time to this and just don’t want to go back to VC and my former setup.
You still have my login and ftp access. Is it possible that I send you a mail with must have plugins (all from your recommended list) and you try to get it running for me.
regards,
Norman

Hello! I thought that by installing the theme and when a new release is out there i will get an update notification to my wordpress panel. I guess that’s not the case correct? What is the best way i can update the theme without going in so much trouble? uploading via ftp etc? Thanks
Hi,
Also check if the composer has been updated automatically
– https://www.screencast.com/t/KrNMbjVQr
Delete it and reinstall it from here, if an older build is used
– https://www.screencast.com/t/nSP4S0JV3
If there is still a problem we could take a look. Send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login, as well as FTP and cPanel if possible. Include the link to this topic in the email.

Hello beyond21,
Please update the theme to the latest version of it via FTP way, remove all of the untested plugins and check the results. I have checked your website and I saw that you are using an old theme version and also, you have a lot of unknown issues with your console.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks.
Hello haqemcom,
It seems to be strange! If you will check our demo here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/ic40TECMF you will see that the logo works as expected on AMP version. Most likely, the problem is only at your website, unfortunately! I suggest you make a new fresh install to another sub-domain for testing with the latest version of the theme installed via FTP way, use only the required plugins, clear all the caches and check the results. Also, if you are using some untested plugins, try to disable all of these, clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
@havardkrislok The child theme is useful if you want to modify theme files mainly, so if you plan to do that you can use it. The guide mentioned what files are supported to be modified in the child theme.
More information about child themes can always be found online
– https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
– http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/wordpress-child-theme-pros-cons/
– https://www.wordpressdepartment.com/wordpress-child-theme-pros-cons-wordpress-child-theme/
For CSS customization for example, there are custom code sections in the theme panel
– https://www.screencast.com/t/1ION93IaM
The guide mentions where you can find the child theme
– https://www.screencast.com/t/tuvJrGHeC7
This child theme has to be installed like any normal theme and activated. It is provided ready to be uploaded by FTP, if you want to install it with WordPress you must zip it first
– https://www.screencast.com/t/UqeFIgH8s
For demos please check here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/demos_introduction/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
These demos will install for the theme, in no relation to having a child theme or not. They can be uninstalled or switched at any time. If a demo is uninstalled the website will be as it was before installing it.
Let us know if you have further questions.
Thanks

Hi,
We will need more details about the problem you are having for a better understanding. What exactly is happening with the theme CSS? The theme does not have any redirect settings for the stylesheet or in general.
Try reinstalling by FTP
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Deactivate and remove theme plugins, install theme again from the theme package you are using. Consider updating to the latest version if you use an older version. Update WordPress as well if you did not.
Check and review theme requirements here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Test with no other plugins except theme plugins, and no child theme. Check htaccess for redirects. Check with hosting for error logs. Let us know.
Thanks

Hi, i already update the Newspaper 8.8 theme and all the plugins,but when I try to enable td composer,all Website will be blank.need to remove plug-in files from ftp, the site will return to normal.
I tried adding code to .hataccess
“<IfModule mod_substitute.c>
SubstituteMaxLineLength 10M
</IfModule>”
change php.ini
post_max_size 50M
max_execution_time 300
max_input_vars 5000
wp-config file
WP Memory Limit 96 MB
all of this,But still have the same problem.
How can I fix it?
Thx
Showing error while installing tag div composer. Here is the screenshot
http://prntscr.com/jrmgyw
Even tried to install from FTP, manually, restarted my server but failed to install, shows the same error again and again.
“Download failed. cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate”
Thanks for the feedback, I need to get my staging site ftp access to address this. I am assuming aside form preset styles, there is no downside to using the demo to build off of? I decided to not use a child theme either because I want to stick with what is available trying to make site as fast as possible.
Any thoughts on the shortcode drop down issue? I am assuming i should have started two threads and am happy to do so if you would like.
Thanks again.
