Hi,
We use Newspaper v8.1 with the child theme that you provide with it.
We noticed two things :
– in the Appearence > theme menu, only the child-theme (that is active) is listed in the theme’s list, we don’t see the parent one. On others sites whith other themes with child-theme, both are displayed on the theme list.
– The child-theme you provided has this comments on the style.css file :
/*
Theme Name: Newspaper 7 Child theme
Theme URI: http://themeforest.net/user/tagDiv/portfolio
Description: Child theme made by tagDiv
Author: tagDiv
Author URI: http://themeforest.net/user/tagDiv/portfolio
Template: Newspaper
Version: 7.7c
*/
=> Is that normal that versions are different (v8.1 for the parent and 7.7c for the child) ?
=> does it explains that we have only the child-theme listed in the WordPress theme menu ?
=> do we have to change something on our child theme code (the comments with the theme name and version ?)

Hi,
Both parent theme and child theme have to be displayed in the theme selection screen. I have tested and this is the result

That meta information you mention does not interfere with the child theme (the template name is impportant), this is fully functional and can be used accordingly. We will update that information in the future update. This is a guide about using the child theme provided in the theme package

Please try and cretae the child theme again, do not modify anything within the child theme, then having the parent theme active, activate the child theme and see if it is working as it should.
Thanks
