Hi!
Thanks for the nice work! I love the Newspaper theme.
There is something I still would like to know: do child themes use the same database?
I mean, if I change some options like “ads” in Newspaper-child-theme1, does it also affect Newspaper and Newspaper-child-theme2?
In fact, I would like to display the website without the ads for people donating, but I am not sure I can do that because when I try to remove ads from one child-theme, it takes effects for every child-theme.
Is there a way to do so?
Cheeds!

child themes always point to their parent; basically they are a way to “over ride” the parent theme with templates, CSS, etc., but don’t directly change the dbase per se. But, yes, they share the same database as they are only a clever way to make customizations and then redirect to the main parent theme for everything else. The parent theme controls the dbase login/connections from the wp-config.php file.
For info on how WordPress works, always always always a great place to start is the massive online WordPress official “codex” like here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
TIP: Google search anything WordPress related with coded on the end.
e.g., child themes codex
OK, I understand.
And now, what If install two Newspaper parent-theme? One in a “Newspaper” folder and the other one in “Newspaper2” folder?
Do they still share the same db?
The final option I see is adding my adsenses codes within the pages but I dislike this option đ
See the codex; you can have more than one WordPress install use the same database, you simply assign a different “prefix” in your wp-config.php file. You need one child theme folder PER WordPress/theme install.
You really may wish to review the WordPress official docs, as this kind of info, and *many* other things are covered in detail:
