Hi,
We are moving to Newspaper and like the point and click technology.
But how easy would it be to move to an non-tagDiv theme in wordpress in the future? (such as a default WordPress theme, for example, twenty-twenty?)
Specifically, articles posted using TagDiv populate the wp_posts post_content field with TagDiv specific code.
I guess this will need to be converted to html should we wish to move from tagDiv to another non-tagDiv theme?
Presumably you have a plug in for this?
Thanks
Hello!
Unfortunately, we do not have a plugin for this.
We are sorry for the inconvenience!
Thank you!
OK, are there plans for this?
I’m sure a competent programmer could code to take the content of the wp_posts post_content field and convert it into the format it is displayed in – presumably making use of some tagdiv php files.
We’ll be with TagDiv for a few years at least I’m sure, but can you give assurances that there’ll be support for this conversion work from TagDiv, even if we have to do it ourselves?
Hi,
That depends.
If you are referring to pages, they will indeed contain composer specific code, like his for example https://i.imgur.com/bwETPDz.png
In case the theme and the composer will not be used anymore on the website at some point, the pages will have to be recreated with the builder or method used at that time. We have no tool or plugin that can convert the shortcodes the composer uses, to a different builder or type of content. The page will simply have to be recreated.
If you are referring to posts, their content will be the same regardless of the theme used. The post content is not build with the composer so it does not contain code from it. The theme provides the post templates, and does not add anything in the post content, except ads when used.
Let me know.
Thank you!
Ah right, I see that now – I had looked at pages and assumed the same for posts.
But a test shows that posts are editable using the usual WordPress editor, irrespective of having been posted with the Newspaper theme installed, and take the usual WordPress formatting code in the WordPress database.
And yes of course, pages will be redesigned if moving to a new format, so this is no issue.
Thanks for clarifying that. All sorted.
