How to fix problems when updating to 10.4.

Posted in: Newspaper

After updating to 10.4 in a test environment a number of errors occurred. For example, TD Composer was no longer working and messing up all pages with shortcodes.

I did some testing and found out that the problem seems to be the theme’s internal update process. Following the instructions for manual update given here: https://tagdiv.com/update-newspaper-theme everything works fine. It looks like the update routine is not deleting or replacing all the files.

If you are facing issues try this:

  • Delete all files from theme folder (wp-content/themes/Newspaper/) via ftp or cpanel.
  • Download Installable WordPress Theme from envato
  • Unzip and upload the new files to theme folder via ftp or cpanel
  • Login to theme panel and update and activate the required plugins
  • Clear Cache

Hope that helps

I always manually update which have not given me any problems in the past, same for version 10.4 which seems to cause so many problems while I didn’t have any issue at all.
