The update to 9.7 was a major disapointment. Our site was broken due to deactivated plugins. The wp-admin login url didn’t work anymore. So far so bad. The most ennoying problem, however, was the fact that many post templates were moved to the td-composer plugin folder. Many forum users reported problems, since the modified files in the child theme weren’t used anymore. While I understand that you had to do this due to Envato requirements, why didn’t you post a solution. Perhaps you did, but I couldn’t find any. Even plugin files can be overwritten. But you have to give us some information, since there is no standard procedure for this. Newspaper is a premium theme. It is absolutely not acceptable that you leave us out in the cold.
Hi,
Most of the theme files were moved into the tagdiv composer plugin as per the requirements of envato: https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000472383-WordPress-Theme-Requirements.
We wrote an article on the subject here: https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
Moving forward with such requirements, a child theme will only work with functions.php, and style.css as there are very few files left in the main theme as envato requires all functionality to be added through plugins.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for understanding.
Copy/paste the same textblock again and again is so disappointing. A theme that can’t be properly modified using a child theme is useless.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
