Hi,
Will the problem with the child theme be included in the next update?
In the child theme, I have a lot of changes in the parts directory and the loop-single and single_template files, which in the previous version were not in the parts catalog. What should I do now with all this?
I think this update is not fully thought out. What about people who use child theme? You have probably forgotten about them :(.
I will wait with the update of the theme.
Best regards,
Kasia Burek
I don’t have the time to dive into the Envato requirements. But this is the first time in 10 years working with WordPress that I have to deal with such a problem. Theme template files should be located in the theme folder. If they really have to be moved into a plugin, provide a solution for overwriting them. However, I’ve never seen this before. So, maybe you should revise the theme structure. Anyway, it is a kick in the teeth for all paying customers. What about customers who spent a lot of money for customization? Everything is lost or has to be moved to the plugin folder which is not update-safe. So, maintenance costs will increase significantly.
Hi MKJ,
Please notice that for each up theme update you need to make a full backup to your database to avoid losing all of your data. Regarding on child theme, please notice that’s the consequence of moving the theme core files.
Most of the theme files were moved into the TagDiv composer plugin as per the requirements of Envato: https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000472383-WordPress-Theme-Requirements. We wrote an article on the subject here: https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
Moving forward with such requirements, a child theme will only work with functions.php, and style.css, as there are very few files left in the main theme as Envato, requires all functionality to be added through plugins.
Thank you for understanding!
Hi,
This problem was fixed, all you need to do is to go to themeforest and download the latest update of Newspaper v9.7.1 and replace the current one ( if you already have the v9.7.1 please get it again and replace it).
Thank you!
Hi,
First please check this topic -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/important-new-update-newspaper-9-7/
Please make update to Newspaper v9.7.1 and make the update via FTP , first delete the current theme and after that drag the new one.

Hi,
Unfortunately I do not have access to your screenshots -> https://www.screencast.com/t/sAjm6SUig
Please make sure that you get the last version of Newspaper theme ( v9.7.1 ) and you update it like in our documentation -> https://tagdiv.com/update-newspaper-theme/ ( set the website in maintenance mode, delete the current theme, do not override it and set the new version of theme).
Let me know how it works!
Thank you!
Please, don’t repeat the same answer again and again. Plugin files can be overwritten update-safe (see Satollo newsletter plugin). You should provide a solution.
You could edit them there, but the modification will have to made again after each update.
I’m pretty sure you know, that even plugin files can be overwritten? Have a look at the Satollo newsletter plugin, for example.
That would be the case, the child theme is quite limited after the recent update.
Thank you very much for killing one of the most fundamental features of a WordPress theme. This is probably the worst update next to WordPress 5.0 introducing Gutenberg.
Hi,
That would be the case, the child theme is quite limited after the recent update. Most theme files have been moved in the composer plugin as mentioned here
– https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
So now the post template files are now in the composer – http://prntscr.com/ng3e26
You could edit them there, but the modification will have to made again after each update.
Maybe you could display the ratings in different way. Some ratings sections provided by plugins can be displayed with shortcodes. You could use a cloud post template for the posts, in the cloud post templates use a column text element in which you enter the plugin shortcode. This would be one way to display ratings on posts.
I believe this request is on our list, a rating option may be available in the theme in a future update.
Thanks

Those options were introduced in theme update 9.6 – http://prntscr.com/ng3al9
If they do not appear in your case then it would mean an older theme version is used.
If you should consider to update the theme to the latest version, note that there were some important changes made to the theme in 9.7, here is a topic
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/important-new-update-newspaper-9-7/
In that topic version 9.6.1 can be downloaded, if you are not yet ready to update to 9.7 or wish to test more before updating.
So for example you could update to 9.6.1 in order to use the new ad box options. Here is a guide if needed – https://tagdiv.com/update-newspaper-theme/
Let me know if you have more questions.
Hi,
Please check this topic about the update to Newspaper v9.7 -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/important-new-update-newspaper-9-7/
Please update the theme via FTP, delete the theme from your website and drag the new one ( do not override the old files, delete them ).

If there is still a problem let me know!
Thank you!
Same here. I posted several comments in this forum regarding this topic with no helpful answer. Common guys, it’s a simple question: How can we overwrite files in the composer plugin? This is not rocket science, is it? If we cannot do this, all customization would be lost (or at least not update-safe). Both is not acceptable.
Hi,
After the new update most of the theme files were moved in the composer plugin, so this has to be active at all times in order to maintain the same functionality. Here is an article about it if you haven’t read it, as to what was done and why
– https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
So the file you are looking for is now in the composer – http://prntscr.com/ng2vqk

Hi,
Please check this topic abut the Newspaper v9.7 -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/important-new-update-newspaper-9-7/
Thank you for your understanding!
Last year you show me how to hide ads on homepage by modifying the header-style-10 file in the header folder. But now the the has been updated and the header-style-10 are no longer there. Where does header-style-10 go? or Theres a new way to hide billboard ads on homepage?
Hi Team, after installing the latest update 9.7 via FTP. I got 2 error messages “warning: cannot modify header information – headers already sent by “Pluggable.php” and the other generated from the plugin “mobile booster”. I will revert back to the previous version via FTP tonight BUT, I am sure I am not the only exception to the universe? I will send screenshots as well. I can’t do it right now. Can admin help here?
this is a sample of what I am getting but is not my specific one
can you tell me what i need to do pls this is a link to my site http://ventradio.net/
i disabled the child theme and the td-api plugin in a test server environment. when i update the theme the site no longer gives the 500 error. however, the plug ins do not update or activate. (it looks like they are updating and activating) but when you refresh it is not active. hence nothing is working because the plugins can not be updated or activated.
Not to sound frustrated, we outsource all our development efforts. when we moved to you theme we spent $2K to customize the theme and now we cant upgrade and potentially have to spend another 2k to go through the upgrade.
Hi,
I am trying to replace the post published date with post modified date on my site https://loyfly.com/beverages/ . Please help.
The update to 9.7 was a major disapointment. Our site was broken due to deactivated plugins. The wp-admin login url didn’t work anymore. So far so bad. The most ennoying problem, however, was the fact that many post templates were moved to the td-composer plugin folder. Many forum users reported problems, since the modified files in the child theme weren’t used anymore. While I understand that you had to do this due to Envato requirements, why didn’t you post a solution. Perhaps you did, but I couldn’t find any. Even plugin files can be overwritten. But you have to give us some information, since there is no standard procedure for this. Newspaper is a premium theme. It is absolutely not acceptable that you leave us out in the cold.
Hi,
I don’t really understand – how can I edit a Category page? I simply add the category link to the menu, it used to come up now it doesn’t.
Also I hid the navigation/arrows on some parts now I have updated they’ve re-appeared!
Hi,
You need to unzip that achieve and open it -> https://www.screencast.com/t/HLIi3ro4
Also please make sure that you make the update like in our documentation -> https://tagdiv.com/update-newspaper-theme/
Thank you!
Hi,
I can’t seem to be able to access the website, there is a 500 error currently. Should be no problem if you follow the guide – https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
Also the most reliable method to update the theme is by FTP – https://tagdiv.com/update-newspaper-theme/
In some cases 500 errors were caused by insufficient memory, we recommend a value of 256M if possible. Try increasing it or contact the hosting provider and provide them with this guide – https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-requirements/
If you already tried this, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide FTP or cPanel as well as admin login. We will take a look. Include a link to this topic in the email. Let us know.
Thanks
