Hi there,
How can i upgrade from v9 to v11?
plugins:
I read that i should add the plugin ‘standard-pack’.
When installing it also says to add the plugin ‘tagdiv composer’. But we’re using the WPbakery composer – and i read we should only use one? For now i let them both co-exist.
(child-)theme
Now i upload the v11-child-theme to wp-content/themes. But in the WP-backend appearance > themes it doesn’t show and i get the message: “The parent theme is missing. Please install the “Newspaper” parent theme.”
other
Then the last is how can i add my code properly from child-v9 to child-v11? We’re using an extra line to implement some extra php:
“require_once(“additionals.php”);”
I’m confused here, hope you can point me in the right direction after this overhaul. Cheers, Ed’
Hello!
Do not use both builders in the same time/pages.
I would gladly recommend you make a backup and update plugins and the theme via file transfer to the latest update: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
The child theme is not overwritten by the update. An issue for that could be the compatibility of your child theme with the new version of our theme(if you use some files which were updated). If you’ll have some custom modifications directly in the theme files, then better save the code and replace it after the update.
Make sure that all the requirements are done as you can see here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Thank you!
Hi Bettina,
thanks for the reply. I’m familiar with updating themes manually. Just trying to get grip on the new way in v11, as i like the addition to be able to update the theme through the wp-backend (apart from staying updated/safe/etc).
install
I manually added the files (v11-theme and child in ‘wp-content/themes/’, plugins in ‘wp-content/plugins/’) on a clean devsite. Then i already get the message: “The parent theme is missing. Please install the “Newspaper” parent theme.”
I guess the issue is where i have to put the parent theme?:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ says in “/wp-content/themes”
https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ says in “wp-content\plugins\td-standard-pack\”
paths in child theme
should i now change the paths to point to “wp-content\plugins\td-standard-pack\”?
Hello,
If you use the new child theme from the latest version it should work.
Please let me know if this issue arises when the main theme is set or if it only happens when the child theme is set.
Thank you!
