So, here’s what I did to update:
1. Put the site on maintenance mode
2. Renamed the old theme folder to Newspaper-old (so WordPress thinks now the parent theme is broken) and then deleted the folder completely.
3. Uploaded the new theme zip and activated the theme. So, now WordPress detects that is a parent theme of the current active Child theme.
But, when I keep the child theme active – even with 0 errors – the website loads up as a blank page (even though the analytics records the visit). And, when I activate the parent theme – it works just fine.
I’m not sure why the child theme is causing the issue even if it has not been modified. Here’s the style.css code of my child theme: https://pastebin.com/PdJ2J8wf
Let me know what I can do to resolve it.
Hi,
Please provide some more details with what you have in child theme… also you can make a backup to the current child, and replace it with the child that cams with the newspaper v9.5
Thank you!
I just have these in the child theme:
