Hi,
After updating new version of theme my sit down. After that i did following point to recover my site.
1. Disable plugins – no success
2. enable wordpress debug mode – i understand child theme not working properly as new theme does not have many classes.
3. i again re-uploaded my older theme version. site is stable now.
Problems :
1. My Sidebar in Post not coming. i tried many options from theme option but no success.
2. How do i update new version of theme. I am using child-theme also. As per my understanding of wordpress we use child-theme to improve hacks of original theme. PS explain the procedure.
Guys plz support asap as my site has good visitors in weekends.
Thanks.
Cheers
Did you follow the upgrade directions in the docs ?
Hi,
Tried to upload the Newspaper 6 theme and it threw a message that the installation has failed. The existing Newspaper 4 theme is also not showing up and the site is now blank. Can you please help in restoring the site back to normal. (www.killboredom.in is the site address)
Thanks,
Gautham.
Hi,
Sorry for delay! We don’t work for weekends!
@meh6927 Please check this guide how to update to the version 6 – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ make sure that you make a full backup before and do this without any plugins active. After you updated the theme please run the script to rename shortcodes, import old settings. All your custom sidebars must be imported as well, but unfortunately you will have to add again the widgets to them as they become inactive or doesn’t exist anymore.
Please note that the Newspaper 6 should be regarded as a new theme, so you need to update also the child theme as the old customizations(files, css) will not work in this version and you need to adjust and re-add them. Here you can find the new child theme documentation(also you can find it in the /code folder) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
@Gautham Please make a full backup of your current installation and try to update to the version 6 via ftp and disable all you plugins before, follow this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ Then follow the steps provided(in the docs and also above) to run the script, update the theme plugins…
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
