Child-theme or Theme-API?

What is the better way to modify and amend the newspaper theme – via child-theme or via a plugin using the theme-api? Which one does offer more flexibility?

We definitely want to change / add some things but unsure, which way to go…

Hello,
Unfortunately I cannot provide a precise answer if one or the other is the best way to go. Generally, if you wish to simply adjust/modify the theme elements, then you can use a child theme. If you want to add content then you should use the api plugin. But you are the one that has to make this decision. This is simply a suggestion not anything else.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.

Thank you. Is a combination possible, e.g. using a child theme and using the theme-api via a plugin?

You can use both, yes! The api uses the plugin provided here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/practical-example-how-to-add-a-new-block-and-module/ you can also create a child theme for other modifications.
Thank you!
