Note that “new” full dot versions of YOAST almost always have notable problems which are then “fixed” over the next few days with 1-4 dot updates.

Good idea to *never* install a full dot update of YOAST until the dot revisions are in place.

Seriously.

However, also be aware they may be launching it pre-emptively to be fully compatible with the pending December release of WordPress 4.4 which will bring a number of changes, which may impact all themes and plugins.

Hi

Sorry for the inconvenience, we try our best to provide the best quality themes and support.
First please backup the whole current theme installation as well as the database and wp install: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
Version 1.7.1 which you have it installed: http://screencast.com/t/BUr9CmZE have this plugins included in its path: http://screencast.com/t/tpdW0mTb You need to delete them, also delete the old theme: http://screencast.com/t/xrHoImmmQZ and install the V2.3.1 of the theme. After this step install the new plugins, only Visual Composer is required, install the other ones only if you need them: http://screencast.com/t/bMVnQrywy – http://screencast.com/t/V8j2YSlZt1

The differences between V1.7.1 and the current one are major. Lots of files are changed, lot of code was modified and your customizations from child theme may not work properly with the latest version of the theme.
The point of a child theme is to keep the customization even if the main theme it’s updated. But this is not always valid, because once in a while the child theme it’s also updated, or if the main theme pass through a major update it’s possible that some customizations not work well anymore.
Since V2.0 the include system for css has been changed in child theme: http://screencast.com/t/UKZpoPCiw and using the old child theme instead of the updated one could cause issues with theme’s style. That was the reason why I have mentioned the child theme update.

Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!

Your answer is very similar to what the documentation says. I’ve read that and done that.

I’ve performing the update through the wordpress panel.

My question was, how are the plugins installed. I see plugins in the new theme version I downloaded. Your instructions say delete the old version of those plugins and replace it with the new.

Where are the old versions of the plugins? They’re not in the plugins section of the wordpress panel.

Also in your answer, you mention updating the child theme. What? Isn’t the point of having a child theme that it contains the modifications? If you update it the mods will be written over and lost.

You folks make the update process much more difficult than needed compared to other themes.

Please completely read my questions and provide thorough and complete answers.

Your support is usually very good, but it seems to be going downhill.

Hi @awtown

If you want to update at the latest version please make sure you do a clean update, meaning that we recommend that you delete the old version of the theme before uploading the new one – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ update also the plugins that come with the theme files. The update process for each of the plugins included in theme path it’s the same: delete the old version of the plugin then install the new version from same path with the theme. For example if you update at the V 2.3.1, which is the current version available on themeforest, the plugins must be installed from Newsmag-tf\plugins folder which you downloaded from themeforest.
If you’re using child theme deactivate it during the update process, switch to default wp theme and make sure that you also update it from Newsmag-tf\code\Newsmag-child.zip
If you use child theme for files customizations it’s a good practice to check update_log.txt file for each update and see what files had been modified so if those specific files are used in the child theme you will have to check your customizations to not break the functionality of the theme.

Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!

No, I didn’t update the plugins. How?

In the Newsmag documentation it says: Step 5 – Update the plugins. The theme required and recommended plugins are included in the theme package inside the ../Newsmag-tf/plugins folder.

Yes, there’s a plugins folder in the new theme version that I downloaded. So, where are the instructions on how to install those? The instructions state to install the Newsmag zip file. The plugin folder is separate.

Are you absolutely certain that the lack of plugins caused the issue? If so, why doesn’t the documentation explicitly state and show how this is done?

Did you also update the included plugins ?

Hi Andrei,

I updated the theme to its latest version. It’s better but I’m still getting errors. I know my host works differently from other hosts and sometimes there are php errors even though their minor.

Only the last two errors seem to be from the theme. Since the update the situation’s definitely got better. I’ll keep monitoring.

Thanks!
