Hi,
I’ve been happy Newspaper 7.0 user running https://przemysl-40.pl/ website. However due to support issues (especially with PHP) it’s to move on. I’m not that confident with doing that technically but would like to have a try. Is there a guide with troubleshooting, etc.?
Best,
Zbyszek
Hi,
That is a very old theme version. However, even after updating the theme, the website should look the same. Before making any changes, please ensure you have a full backup.
After updating the theme, it is important to install the Standard Pack plugin: https://i.imgur.com/8heENe0.png This plugin, introduced in Newspaper 10, contains all the old blocks and templates, which are now separated from the main theme. You can find more details in this article: https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-update-standard-pack-or-tagdiv-cloud-templates/
Please also make sure to clear the cache, optimized resources, and Cloudflare cache (if you are using Cloudflare) after updating the theme.
If you are using a child theme, we recommend deactivating it after the update, as it may cause compatibility issues.
Additionally, if you prefer, you can request custom work to update the theme to the latest version. One of our developers will handle the update and ensure everything remains unchanged. To proceed, please send a request to services@tagdiv.com
, and our colleagues will ask for temporary wp-admin access to review the site and assess the changes made. Based on this, they will provide a time and cost estimate for the update.
Let me know if you’d like a more casual or more technical version.
