That is not my experience. I need to explicitly turn off that setting for the post type ‘download’ or the more articles slider comes in as I scroll the page.
So my question stands: is there some official way to locally suppress a global setting from my template like the update_temp() function does, or is the only official way to copy and edit the more articles PHP file in my child theme?
I would request that the deprecated status of the update_temp() be lifted, and it be kept as official for such purposes. It is much simpler in this case.
Thanks!
Yes, I have made most of my modifications using a child theme.
Okay, I will update it in a staging site and see if everything works fine.
Hello sjcole,
Please provide screenshots with the problem because I cannot recreate it. Also, I saw that you are not using the latest version of the theme. Our recommendation is to update the theme to the latest version of it via FTP way because this is the surest theme method.
Thanks for the message!
and one more thing.With newspaper 8.5 the old visual editor v4.12.1 is given the latest one is 5.0.1.How can we update to the latest one?
Hello vadoingiappone,
We will consider fixing it in our new feature update.
Thanks.
Hi,
There were many modified files in the 8.2 update, after the WordPress update. These fixed various issues that were present at the time. The problem was not just with the captions.
You should try and update the theme to the latest version, version 8.5 introduced many new features.
If possible try and make customization using a child theme, that would be a lot more future proof ten modifying actual theme files. Only if the files are not supported by the child theme you should modify them directly.
Here is an update guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thanks
Hello BeoWulf,
Unfortunately, the theme does not have any such an option that allows you to log in to Facebook accounts, sorry! You should try such a plugin with this functionality and check the results. This feature is added to our list of improvements and we will consider to add in near future updates.
Thanks for your understanding!
Thanks Catalin! Now I have found that one plugin has not been working well and that Jetpack needs that my wordpress site is updated to 4.7 or later.
Hello,
Unfortunately, the theme does not have any such an option for this case, sorry! That’s your suggestion. This request was added to our list of improvements and our developers will consider to implement it in our new future updates but we cannot say for sure a specific period.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
The theme panel settings and custom code entered in the theme panel, will not be lost after a theme update. Or you could create a child theme for theme customization
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
It is as well recommended to make periodic backups, in case something unpredictable happens.
Thanks
I’m bringing up an online storefront on my existing Newspaper8 site using EDD. The way EDD works it only lets me use the default page style from Newspaper8, so I have had to create a child theme and create single-download.php to make it look like I want.
I am able to tweak this template to override everything I want to disable (the social share, the “Related Articles”, ads, etc.) using the template and overriding the short code for ads and adding a simple conditional based on the post type ‘download’.
I also want to override the “more articles” slider element so it does not show up on posts of type ‘download’. While digging through the code I found a method td_options::update_temp() that lets me do exactly what I want by just adding a single line to the template. However, that method is documented with a “deprecated” warning not to use it. This solution is just so simple:
td_options::update_temp('tds_more_articles_on_post_pages_enable','no');
So my question is if there is any other approved official way to override a setting for my post type this way?
The other option I have is to copy the includes/wp_booster/td_more_article_box.php file into my child theme and add a one-line change to add the conditional there, but that just makes for more long-term maintenance work for me on every theme update.
Thanks Simion,

Featured images are uploaded and can be seen as featured in the admin of the post, but when we view the post from the admin or on the website itself, the featured mages do not show up. This has been happening after the latest update of the Newspaper theme. I have cleared the cache, disabled plugins and tried everything I can think of to fix the issue. Please advise.

And I am on the version 8.1. I don’t want to update my theme altogether. That way I lose some of the changes I made in the theme files. Can I somehow just update the files that were updated in the update?
Hello Numaphon,
Please do not mislead the world with this affirmations because this is not a true one, sorry! Why is the latest version very bad in your opinion? Provide more details for it to sustain your point of view. The latest version of the theme is fully tested with the all of the required plugins and should work as expected. Try to make a new clean install via FTP way and make sure that you have updated the multi-purpose plugin.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
I cannot view the images you posted
– https://www.screencast.com/t/LDagEqlw
There was a issue similar to what you are describing, this happened after the WordPress update. If I recall correctly this was fixed by a theme update, version 8.2.
Thanks
Hello,
We have been using this theme for last 3years with theme name changed. We never had issue. But now if we update our theme, we dont want to loose any data and settings.
The solution you are providing will lead me to never update the theme.
Please kindly test the theme with modified name.
Hello frontofthebeast,
Please update the theme via FTP way because this is the surest theme method in this case. Please check the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Thanks for the message!
Hello coonetwork,
When you have updated the theme with 8.5.1, do you have updated your td-multi-purpose plugin? Please try to install again your theme version via FTP way and update all of the plugins which come bundled with the theme core files and check the results.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Yes, this will surely be fixed in the next theme update. It is a general responsive issue with this particular block, it is not happening just for you.
Sorry for this inconvenience.
Thanks
Thanks for the reply. That’s good to know. I still have the issue with the 3 random images showing just above the footer on the desktop version. Is this related to the new update to the theme? Thanks!
Hello,
I have done fresh localhost install to test the latest version before I can implement on live server.
If I rename theme name from newspaper to something else and also update style.css with new theme name.
Installed Retro Demo and got error on home page
wp booster error:
td_api_base::mark_used_on_page : a component with the ID: tdm_header_style_3 is not set.
C:\Program Files\VertrigoServ\www\demo\wp-content\themes\inkoholics\includes\wp_booster\td_api.php
wp booster error:
td_api_base::get_key : a component with the ID: tdm_header_style_3 Key: file is not set.
C:\Program Files\VertrigoServ\www\demo\wp-content\themes\inkoholics\includes\wp_booster\td_api.php
While if I revert back to original theme name Newspaper, I dont see any error and demo works perfectly.
Is there anyway you can fix the issue and make theme compatible with any theme name because I dont want my competitors to know which theme I am using.
Hello,
The patch simply contains the files modified from one version to another. That is meant for people who have code modifications and do not want to replace all the theme files.
If you do not have code modifications, you do not have to use the patch. You can use this guide to properly update the theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thank you!
Hi,
The pages and posts you have created, along with theme panel settings and custom code, will not be lost after a theme update. As always it is highly recommended to make backups before any update. Please see this theme update guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
The most recommended method to update would be by FTP.
Thanks
Hello Hassaan,
The only available section for social networks could be found in Theme panel, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/bgdOxCHu6pz From here you can update your social networks.
Thanks for the message!
