Hi there, I wanted to ask you, is your child theme documentation up to date?
https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
It says:
“!Important:
Since all of the theme functionality was moved to the tagDiv Standard Pack, the root theme folder is wp-content\plugins\td-standard-pack\Newspaper. ”
But inside: wp-content/plugins/ I don’t have any folder called: td-standard-pack

Would you be able to point me to the right direction in order to modify safely the functions.php file?
Do I still need to create a child theme? Is there any solution for that within the current theme?
Thank you very much.
Adrien
Hello !
Do you have the tagDiv Standard pack plugin active ? In order for that folder to be available you will need to activate the plugin: https://www.screencast.com/t/ZwpjCWzOB
Thank you !
Hello Vlad,
Thank you for your insights.
My website is finished and I have never used tagDiv Standard so far. Do I need it for the child theme?
I just want to add a couple of php functions without breaking my website.
Do I really need a child theme?
What would be your suggestions?
What are my options with pros and cons?
Thank you 🙂
Hello!
In order to have that folder which you search for please install Standard Pack plugin.
I recommend you also to build a child theme and add the functions there.
Please note that any change you make in the theme files after update will be overwritten and you have to make the changes again. Better save the code somewhere and then apply it again after update if you don’t want a child theme.
From these 2 options, you can choose which one suits you for your needs.
Without child theme, don’t forget to add the code after every update.
Thank you!
Thank you very much, I will go the the 2nd option without the child theme, it will be a lot simpler for me 🙂
