We recently switched from NewsMag to Newspaper.

Now one important problem is: With Newspaper approx. 30.000 Articles have been published in many different templates (approx 90% in 2 different templates); …and look bad now!

We decided to customize a Cloud Temple (Single) for our new layout.

How can we change all the older postings to appear in the new template layout?

“template” not “Temple” 😉

Hello !

You can try setting the default post template from here: https://www.screencast.com/t/HUxfLoNkQ But take note that if you have applied individual template on posts they will not be overwritten by the global settings.

We are sorry for the inconvenience !

Thank you !

Thank you Vlad,

is it possible – as a dirty workaround – to fool the system by renaming a duplicate of our new favorite template incl. all settings to the name of the old template that was used before?

Hello !

Theoretically you can try the option you mentioned. Unfortunately we cannot provide any kind of help because this requires custom work wich is not covered by the support policy: https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-support/ .

If you think that your coding skills are not good enough you can try hiring a freelancer or someone who can take this task to a good end.

Thank you !
