I install WooCommerce Product Archive Customiser and it works pretty cool!

Actually WP Rocket wasn’t working to well with lazy load either but just on Firefox. So I went back to the theme lazy load and just uninstalling Firefox and trying out Opera. Something seriously wrong with Firefox. I use four different browser to see the website and so far Edge, IE11, and Chrome load right. See how Opera does.

I’m playing with this on another site project where the WP install is inside a sub-folder and that extra /category/ thing was even more annoying ! 🙂

The script update is AFTER you install the new version of the theme.

Again, see the docs on how to upgrade.

I always upgrade via FTP myself … normal practice is delete old theme and plugin folders, as per usual; upload new theme folder and new plugins.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the quick reply, sorry if you had to repeat the same things again.

1) So in my case, is it recommended that I run the import script, which is also known as the update script?

2) Where do I find the import/update script? (I’m in the theme panel and I can’t find the link, help)

3) Is the import/update script method no longer constitutes a clean install?

4) What is the correct sequence of events to start my update?
– Back-up entire site, database (done)

– Don’t use FTP as “there may be issues” (I have always updated using FTP method, so which is the safer method to update?)

– Please make sure that you delete the following files from Newspaper 4:
page-homepage-bg.php
page-homepage-bg-loop.php
page-homepage-blank.php
page-homepage-loop.php
page-homepage-timeline.php
(do I delete the above files via FTP first?)

– Update Visual Composer and Social Counter when updating from V4 (so do I update them before or after updating the theme?

5) Do I still need to export my current theme settings if I’m using the import/update script?

6) Can I use the 6.5.1 pack to update from 4.6.3?

Thanks again for your help.

Thank you for your reply. I attempted to upload the “revolution_slide_5” from the WordPress Admin panel. However it could not be installed. Here are the results:

Most themes which auto update in WP use either a theme foundry plugin; or can be updated due to being in the WordPress theme repository (e.g., free themes).

Most commercial themes on ThemeForest and commercial plugins don’t have an “auto update” feature, and generally this is a BAD idea — for example, if people had done auto update from NP4 to NP6, and woken up to find their site broken, that would not have been good.

Similarly some plugins may change settings and require workarounds and/or a perfect example is Yoast who “updated” their old wp meta plugin, by disabling it without telling people it would disable it, even though it still worked. Then printed message on screen – “we’ve discontinued this plugin, please upgrade to Yoast SEO” — well, on one site we didn’t want to do that and had to revert to the original meta plugin. Ouch!

Envato tried to build a theme updater for their themes and you can certainly try that. But often it’s best to review the changelog and see what changed so that you don’t wipe your child theme changes if there is major child theme update, or reset your home page if VC changes, etc.

For example an auto updater today might update the entire theme by deleting old folder and any customizations, and upload new one; when only thing changed was Visual Composer update for security issue. So, today only update it the VC plugin which can be done manually via FTP.

So, while it sounds like a good idea — in practice, it’s really not that advisable.

Hope that made sense — not trying to be contrary, just some feedback from using WP for 10 years and having a lot of cock ups from “auto updates” — we turn them ALL off for our sites due to too many site crashes in middle of the night without warning, or CPU spikes crashing entire box due to a bad plugin (e.g., YOAST, often has major bugs every damn dot upgrade then rushes out 3 rounds of “oops” fixes…. seriously… never install that on “new dot upgrade” — it’s a bad bad idea!). 🙂

Hi

You need to install the whatsapp plugin: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/whatsapp then go to plugin settings and set it where you want to appear on the post/pages: http://screencast.com/t/VQ4vE5bbAI4

To make the button visible on desktop add this custom css in theme panel > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/J45jYezamgO2

@media (min-width: 1024px){
.wabtn_container {
display: block;
}
}

Also you can use the plugin’s shortcode to display the button in a different place than set by default: http://screencast.com/t/eJjvhmOUt1
Let me know how it goes!

Thanks!

Thank you for your help so far Andrei L.

I don’t know what I might be missing but I certainly need some help with this share buttons situation

What i’m trying to do: Add a whatsapp and email share button to my Newsmag theme.

Things I understand that i’m supposed to-do are

To-do 1. Add the Font Awesome Icon plugins
Attempted Solution 1: I installed this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/font-awesome/
Attempted Solution 2: I inserted the following code to (the parent theme’s) [theme folder]/function.php file.

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_font_awesome' );
function enqueue_font_awesome() {

	wp_enqueue_style( 'font-awesome', '//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.4.0/css/font-awesome.min.css' );

}

I got the code above from a different site while trying to figure out how to add FA icon to my site.

To-do 2: Edit “./wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/modules/td_module_single.php”

Attempted solution:Added the following code

<a href="//send?=' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '"><i class=”fa fa-whatsapp fa-lg”></i></a>

To-do 3: Add custom CSS
Attempted Solution: Added the following code to the “Your Custom CSS”

.td-social-whatsapp {
background-color: #60b82d;
}

.td-social-whatsapp .td-icon-whatsapp {
font-size: 24px;
position: relative;
top: 2px;
left: 1px;
}

.td-social-pinterest {
margin-right:8px;
}

@media (min-width: 787px){
.td-social-whatsapp {
display: none !important;
}

After all of the above nothing has worked(whatsapp button has not appeared). What am i missing?

Is there a plugin i can add to make this part easier.

I really appreciate any more help I can get.

OK, there is some light at the end of the tunel! I have found this plugin that works almost as I want: https://wordpress.org/plugins/posts-in-page/installation/

By using the shortcode [ic_add_posts ignore_sticky_posts=’no’] paste on a plain text box at Visual Composer, all sticky posts are shown!

The only if is that the post does not show the post thumb! Please TagDiv, can you adapt this plugin to your theme and include it as a solution for this issue? Please??

Hi

Regarding the featured image size please check this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/recommended-images-sizes/

You need to update the Social Counter plugin from Newspaper-th/plugins/td-social-counter path, also you can install the plugin using theme’s panel: http://screencast.com/t/3DQmj3Kp

Thanks!

You can easily import any font family you wish via your style.css file, and load files on your own site.

Thanks To Everyone! I have solved!
The problem was in plugins, because they were not installed in to theme. Theme were not rendered properly.

make sure you delete the old js-composer folder in the plugins folder, and install the NEW version that comes with WP6/6.5. Hope that helps.
