Hi.
I just downloaded the 7.8 update and i’ve got a question about the functions.php file in child theme.
It says “Newspaper V6.3+ Child theme” but my current version (before 7.8 update) says “Newspaper 7 Child theme”. And one of the last lines of code seems a bit different. Why and which version should I use ?
Thanks.
Hello,
A child theme is not update proof. No type of customization is. If you use a child theme it should be updated on each update if he files in your child theme have been modified in the main theme update. We sugest using the child theme that comes with the latest version of the theme.
Thank you!
Its true, if you look into the childtheme that ships with 8.0 it states:
Newspaper V6.3+ Child theme – Please do not use this child theme with older versions of Newspaper Theme
However…
the child theme from 7.8 states:
Newspaper 7 Child theme – Please do not use this child theme with older versions of Newspaper Theme
The only difference in the code is 7.8 has ‘c’ the new one does not. is this important?
7.8 –>
wp_enqueue_style('td-theme', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', '', TD_THEME_VERSION . 'c' , 'all' );
8.0 –>
wp_enqueue_style('td-theme', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', '', TD_THEME_VERSION, 'all' );
Please use the one without the ‘c’
The latest one.
Thank you!
The ‘c’ was also problematic for me, now it works just fine !
Thank you for this solution
