Search Results for 'update'

Hi Lucian,

Thank you very much for the quick reply. Sorry for my delay, I’ve been reading the documentation you provided and have two questions:

1) Since my version (3.6) is so old, I do not see a link to “update script” on the theme panel (i.e. the very first screenshot provided in the update documentation link you sent). Is there another way I can obtain, and then run?

2) Again, due to old version, should I update immediately to Newspaper 6, or, should I apply prior updates, gradually?

Thanks again.

Paul

sorry , just updated the “theme ” and now support custom post types

Hm.
you can try loading a post page in Chrome, then hit F12 and it should tell you if there is some bizarre unclosed div tag or something.

And of course, make sure you don’t have your zoom set to 150% or something as that always wrecks some stuff with VC 😉

I have not yet updated to the latest-latest version so my comments are probably more anecdotal from 10 years of WordPress gremlins …

look like you will need to redo your homepage … which can often be quickly tweaked by redragging a couple of rows into place to see if they work or not.

Most people just redo the home page layout to get on with their life.

On your posts, having two sets of social media codes at bottom likely not a good idea … if using a plugin, try turning OFF the ones built into the theme as a starting point.

For example on this page, in the console there is a ton of object fails from twitter:

Did you do the dbase update tool after update? That should convert most of the shortcodes.

Some things are CHANGED, and you will need to redo them no matter what. It’s like a new theme, not an update. It’s totally different code, with some overlap for consistency, but not the same them as v4.

You will need to tweak your sidebars, widgets, menus, homepage — sometimes just “resaving” them will fix it; in some cases you will need to adjust things like the search template from v4 no longer there for search results page, etc.

I knew I was going to be behind by a version or two but I am still on 6.2 and the current version is 6.3.2. Do I update by deactivating and then deleting the 6.2 version and then uploading the new version? Also, have to update visual composer? Do I update VC before the theme?

Be sure to clear cache, and possibly go and resave your module and sidebar widget.
That has worked for me in the past after update. Might not help here, just a thought.

btw, any interest in syndicating news from our wire service (Send2Press®) ?

You can automatically pull in our news via RSS2 and photos into WordPress to add additional first-class news content not copied from anywhere else.

eg., entertainment news:
https://www.send2press.com/XML/s2p-news25.xml

all news
https://www.send2press.com/XML/s2p-news1.xml

(we have non-https version as well…. )

shoot me a note if you’d like to add our content (free!). 🙂

Note I have been too busy trying to build an elaborate ecommerce system for my company’s service offerings to update any of my sites to NewsMag 2.1x from 1.7x and test stability of new version of Visual Composer with “our server.”

Basically – if your server crashes with Visual Composer running, you will know you need to use older version of VC or the shim.

Radu will have to weigh in on whether the “shim” works with current version of NM 2.1 — I would “guess” that if the shim is included in the big download someplace then it may be.

In December we will be doing full OS reload to move to latest versions of CentOS, Plesk, etc., so that will be a whole new barrel of monkeys.

Thanks for the image it was very helpful. I was able to get the input fields to show up on the post form, but the changes arent reflected on the output of the post. The changes are getting saved as the chosen option is still present. Any idea what i need to do to make the template reflect on the output of the custom post?

On a side note, i dont want to directly edit the theme as this makes things difficult in the future if the theme gets an update. I was able to make the meta boxes display using a custom plugin. IF anyone needs this in the future i used the following code to achieve the desired functionality without needing to edit the theme.

add_action('init', 'register_theme_metaboxes', 10000);
function register_theme_metaboxes() {
include_once get_template_directory() . '/includes/wp_booster/wp-admin/external/wpalchemy/MetaBox.php';
new WPAlchemy_MetaBox(array(
'id' => 'td_post_theme_settings',
'title' => 'Post Settings',
'types' => array("faq", "bg-post"),
'priority' => 'high',
'template' => get_template_directory() . '/includes/wp_booster/wp-admin/content-metaboxes/td_set_post_settings.php',
));
}

Hi All,

I have same problem with Facebook share featured image.

After I check several of my post, All my articles after 1 august not showing facebook featured images (empty box with just site name/URL), and for all articles previous can show featured images. This condition applies to sharing from sharing button each article page and from automatic sharing via jetpack plugin.

FYI,
I using this theme since 27 august and update Newspaper theme on 31 july and most of my articles posted by schedule with random hours (sometimes in am. or pm.). so there is only 2 articles which managed a facebook featured image after I used this theme.

My Web is : http://marchinggeek.com/

please your advice.

thanks for the response.

how can i update the theme? It is not giving me update available on wordpress dashboard but i know an update is needed because i updated the version on a different site. Also, if i download the theme from code canyon, can i just unzip it and drop the files in my ftp? doing this, will my custom works be overwritten? since i edited files like td_module_single_base.php
thanks

@andrei_luca If you are considering new post formats for the next update of Newsmag, it would be great to have a post style similar to Styles 4 or 5 (or 6) but with less height. So instead of a featured image size of 1021 x 580 for Style 4, make it something like 1021 x 300ish.

Ads should come after the pagination as a natural function of the theme. When page buttons come after the ad, using the buttons becomes less intuitive to the reader. Please consider adding this feature in the next update of the theme, instead of requiring code tweaking (which can be fraught with problems, and intimidating to us non-code types – which is why we buy themes!).

Another note – the Featured Image fails to carry over to the additional pages. This should be a default action as well.
