Hi Team,

I’ve recently updated and now my single blog pages have changed how they display the featured image. And, when I adjust the settings, nothing happens. It’s also still displaying my style selection, but the display does not reflect that selection.

thanks!

Hi,

Do you maybe use a child theme? There is an issue currently that happens when a child theme is active, all the posts will use the default post template. That could be the case here. If that is the case, the solution would be to deactivate the child theme, sorry for the inconvenience.
After the recent theme updates the child theme is quite limited, as most of the theme files were moved in the tagDiv composer plugin

In case the problem is different than what I mentioned above, please post some more details about it, also a link to the website.

Thanks

“After the recent theme updates the child theme is quite limited.” DANG! That is a HUGE problem. Is the plan to stop supporting the parent/child theme protocol entirely, then? Or are you working on a fix? We tweak the header.php file, the single.php file, and the loop-single.php file. If we’re no longer able to do that, it pretty much renders your theme completely obsolete and useless.

Indeed this is a problem, Newspaper is very popular used by sites with thousands of daily visitors. I understand that envato terms was the reason for this mix-up, but having the post templates work in child theme is very crucial.

Very important also is to fix the lightbox as described here:

So in the next update that we await as soon as possible i would very much like to see those 2 issues fixed.

If we should find a solution to provide a safer way for modifying the theme files found in the composer plugin, we will provide it. But at the moment they can only be modified there directly.
The issues caused by the child theme, the lightbox issue and a few others will be fixed in the next theme update. An update will be released as soon as the fixes are made and tested.
