is it possible to run an update from old version 7.4 to latest ver.8.8 with help of 1 start?
Or
should I start updates from 7.4 —> 7.5 —> 7.6 —- > step by step and etc…. —-> 8.8 ?
Do you have step by step manual\guide for update process?
is it correct manual for update of old versions to the new one?

Hi,
You can simply update normally, no need for a step by step update. Update by FTP and replace the old theme with the new one
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Be sure to make a backup before, just to be safe. Also review the theme requirements
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
And check the theme changelog (bottom of the page)

Thanks
Thanks for answer.
I’ve tried with help of Envato Market. As a result – unsuccessful update – “HTTP ERROR 500” for whole site. Could you let me know how to diagnose the problem?
Read carefully:
Update by FTP and replace the old theme with the new one
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Read section A. Update the theme via FTP.
Also: be sure to make a backup before, just to be safe.
I’ve tried to use option 1 – via FTP
Result the same = “HTTP ERROR 500”
I’ve got the following message in error log :
mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 128 bytes) in — here-is-my-path—-/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_util.php on line 1375
So, I’ve changed Memory limit from 64 Mb to 128Mb – problem was solved.
Is it ok for this Memory size?
May I use 90Mb or 70 Mb?
In the WordPress backend:
look at screenshot –
I can see a text- Template ver.8.8
But Logo shows me News7Paper (seven)
is it ok?
pardon- I forgot to add a screenshot – https://www.screencast.com/t/H8q5sFPMzh
Hi,
Indeed, 64M would be insufficient for the theme and plugins. It would depend on your other plugins as well, the bigger the number of plugins the higher the memory consumption. For some users we recommend 256M if possible.
The theme logo should be like this after the update

That could be just a browser cache issue, clear the browser cache or test with a different browser. Try to force refresh the page (Ctrl+Shift+R). Also clear all caches installed and CDN files if you use it.
Thanks
According to preview ver.8.8. – you were right! Clear of cache – refreshed the picture.
According to PHP setting – if I set 256Mb – is it speed up the template run?
Could you recommend some tricks how to speed up page run for this template?
P.S. I know about Google Page Speed recommendation. I’m interested to optimize this template for fast run 🙂 Do you have a manual about this?
Hi,
Yes, 256M would be sufficient for most users. Set it like that if possible and allowed by your hosting provider.
There are multiple speed optimization guides here in the forum, besides the official guide. Many users achieved great results and posted their own methods

– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newspaper-theme-speedify-your-website/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/
Use a caching plugin and CDN if possible as well
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
Keep testing multiple plugins if needed, or different implementations until the website is as fast as it can be. Keep the plugin number as low as possible also. Also ads can cause the website to be slower.
Thanks for links. 🙂 I will explore
