Hi, maybe it’s obvious, but I don’t know how to upload from newapapper 9 to 12.
I have downloaded the .zip from https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609 , unzipped it.
I see that you have a different structure than the current one in the wp-content/themes folder.
We should do something?

Thanks

Hello,

Please make a full backup to all files and database => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAJXrSI-dDA
Here you can find information about the changes that have occurred in each update over time https://tagdiv.com/newspaper/
I recommend that you update the theme manually https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ via FTP/cPanel/File Manager, also if possible disable extra plugins during the theme update to avoid any problems that may arise and make sure that you have activated the tagDiv Standard pack plugin to keep the website’s look. You can try to update the theme on a staging website.
After you update the theme, you need to update the theme plugins too.
In the worst cases, the settings in the theme panel may be lost (there have been isolated cases), in these cases, after the theme plugins that were previously used are activated, you will have to use a backup for the theme panel -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/
Also, if you want, you can contact our custom work team here and they can help you to update the theme safely: https://tagdiv.com/premium-customization-services/

Hope this help you!

Thank you!

thank you anamaria
Too bad I didn’t have the patience to wait for your answer.
Download the update.
I found a file called Newspaper.zip.
I went to WP backoficce/appearance/theme/new/ and installed it.
Everything has been broken.
Luckily, from the file manager I made a copy of the WP folder to wp-old. Although I had problems I almost copied everything. I have renamed it and I see right on the main page changes in the size of three images.
I’m going to see if I can recover the daily backup and then we’ll follow your instructions.
