Hi! Okay, I’ll wait for the next theme updates.
Thank you!

I didn’t insist on it. YOU activate it every time we update the theme. You are the ones insisting on it. And you claimed it was ready for primetime -and you claimed you had an easy transition guide – and that it is a new substitute for VC. It’s neither of those things – yet you force it to be active every time we update the theme. And you claim to have a guide to convert – which you don’t. Why didn’t you just TELL US what the TDC does NOT have before wasting our time? Why do you automatically install and activate a half finished plugin? Why not give us the option of activating it?

If you were me – wouldn’t you think based on your 1) automatically installing and activiting it, 2) saying it was the new plugin you were planning on using and 3) that you had an “easy to convert” guide –

If you were me – wouldn’t you think any/all of the above were true? There was no need for me to go down a rabbit hole when you already KNEW your plugin wasn’t ready to use as a substitute for current theme customers. It would go a long way if you showed a little respect for your customers time and money instead of making VERY COSTLY false claims.

Stop activating the TD composer every time the theme updates. You made it so the VC composer has to be manually updated every time. The same should be said for the new (not yet even close to done) TD composer. You activate it automatically every time the theme updates and then it screws up our sites. Since your TD composer is still in Beta, don’t make it automatically active.

The theme was fine until you messed it up with a not even half done product you insist on activating. I’ve put HOURS (like WEEKS) into troubleshooting your theme and plugins. Are you going to refund me that???? If not, then please just fix what doesn’t work.

Child themes don’t work this way and with good reason. Especially for the fact in how child themes work, you would essentially be loading the same theme twice which would make loading your site extremely slow. Let me explain what I’m talking about.

With a child theme, you still need to have the parent theme (Newspaper) installed on your website… just not activated. The child theme needs to be the active theme. With the child theme active, WordPress knows that Newspaper is the parent theme and to load it first when the visitor loads your site. The child theme loads second the altered theme files after the parent theme loads.

Many users only use functions.php and style.css files in their child theme to make changes to their site. If there are other changes needed for your site that can’t be accomplished using these two files, then you need to find the file in the parent theme that needs editing, COPY it to your child theme folder (put it in the same location where it is in the parent theme… create folders if you have to), make the necessary changes to the file using your favorite code editor, and then upload it to your site using FTP.

When Newspaper updates, you will want to use a program like Diffmerge to show you the differences between the updated parent theme files and the current version of your child theme files. That way if there’s anything profoundly different, you can update your child theme files accordingly to prevent breaking something on your site.

TagDiv has resources on how to use a child theme and has a starter child theme you can download, make changes, and upload to your site. Check them out.

Yes. I posted a tutorial thread in the docs > diy / tutorials > best of forums.

There are others on here as well. Mine is a little hard to read in places due to the formatting getting minified with last update to this forum, but it’s a good starting point amongst others.

You can also learn a lot by testing one of your posts with GTmetrix.com and read the instructions there 🙂

It’s near impossible to use that front end thing – so I still don’t understand your answer. What does, “The equivalent is the same with this” mean? Nothing but errors, back and forth from front end to back end, copying code and pasting it to other elements.

Has anyone who constantly builds/updates/writes sites actually used this thing? Themes are not just for designers who build a structure and pass it off to the client. They are also for people who write websites and need to update them daily. This is not a tool for that. VC was much easier to use.

Hello,

I have made few changes & got this look: https://www.blog.tutorialadvice.com/show-hn-full-stack-entrepreneur-a-full-stack-guide-to-entrepreneurship/

This is my testing website so I test all the customizations here.

Now I have few questions,

1. Will this customizations change if I update the theme? If yes how can I avoid this so I can update the theme but no customizations are lost after update.

Please let me know how to avoid this?

Thank you.

OK – I figured out what was causing my errors. But it’s something that needs to be fixed.

I use a lot of separators on my site. I also use a lot of shortcodes around the site. When using these codes on the site, here are the statuses:
[vc_separator] – fine
[vc_separator color="#5aa1e3" style="dashed" border_width="4"] – fine

However, I put the above code (the second line) in a shortcode called, “[contentblock id=separator-blue-dashed]”

And that’s when it breaks the front end. The blue line shows fine on the site but it breaks the whole front of composer and I can’t change anything else.

I use these shortcodes everywhere on the site – they’ve never been an issue anywhere else or with any other theme. Nor did they cause errors with VC. So it’s strictly limited to TDC.

If we can’t use simple shortcodes (which is necessary), how can we change, for example, the color of a line sitewide when we want to? I don’t want to format 1000 separators on the site individually – I want one place where I can edit and update them in a few seconds without breaking everything else. Thanks.

Well, after some forum searching it seemed that it was indeed a bug. And the solution was to update the theme. Now everything seems to be working 🙂

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I understand what you’re saying and I would like to update to the latest version of the theme. I realize I will lose customizations but I am very concerned I will lose content. Is this the case? Will I actually lose 6000+ posts of content published over the last several years? Please advise, Thank you.
