I’m about to make the switch from 9 to 10
I read this:
If your website was created with a previous version of Newspaper Theme, you should update the theme according to the theme documentation. Leave the plugin active until all dependencies are removed. What do I mean? For example, your website uses one of the default headers from the theme panel, and you deactivate the Standard Pack, your header will be displayed as a series of text and symbols on the frontend.
Can you provide the link to the documentation so I can do this correctly.
Thank you.
I’m not overly tech savy so I kinda need the step by step instructions to removing the dependencies.
https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-update-standard-pack-or-tagdiv-cloud-templates/
I used the standard white default demo and as I read the article with very little documentation it eludes to the fact I need to rebuild all pages. I don’t see in the cloud library the HOME PAGE Default Pro…only see as a footer.
Also, do I have to recreate the
Single Post template
Category Template
ETC.
Sorry for the confusion and I appreciate the assistance
Hi,
“Leave the plugin active until all dependencies are removed” is referring to deactivate all non theme and tested plugins until you make the update, after that you can reactivate them.
How to Update the Newspaper Theme for WordPress -> https://tagdiv.com/update-newspaper-theme/
So in Newspaper theme X you can choose between Pro demos ( made only with cloud ) and standard demos ( make with standard elements from standard pack) also you can combine them.
“removing the dependencies” is referring to start to use only cloud elements ( like PRO demos ) so you’ll need to replace the elements from standard pack with these from cloud.
You can check this top for some more information -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/action-required-please-read-how-to-update-to-the-newspaper-theme-v-10/
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Hello,
I have migrated to 10 and have the “tagdiv standard pack” activated. When I deactivate I get changes to my homepage that don’t look good. So I reactivated it. I can’t understand from the articles what exactly needs to be done to remove “dependencies”.
I’m sorry I’m not very tech savvy. I liked your theme because it made it easy to import the demo and replace images and link posts. Now I need to remove dependences and still have no information on how to do that…what files require to have dependencies removed…is it just the home page or is it every single page and post I have which is a lot of files. I’m sorry for the ignorance however I chose your theme so I didn’t have to do all that tech savvy stuff now I need to do a lot of work and really don’t have a roadmap to do it. What needs to be replaced with what?
I also find it kinda stupid that you don’t have a complete “default demo homepage pro” with all the elements in your cloud templates. I mean it is your default demo theme right. Can you provide me with all the pieces to the Default Pro Demo Puzzle. I know about the footer since that is the only thing named.
I hope to get a little more detailed help to understand what I need to do because the articles don’t really provide much information for me on what files I need to remove “dependencies” from so I can stop using the “tagdiv standard pack” and get the blazing fast speed I have read so much about.
Thank you
Hi,
So lets start again, you can use the layout you have not without making any changes only let the standard pack activate ( the blocks from tagDiv Composer were moved in this plugin) however if you want to use a PRO version make first a full backup to your website and databases after that install a pro demo, also we have a pro demo default -> https://i.imgur.com/vkgVLr4.png this will set the cloud templates on categories and posts that have set the style from theme panel, after that all you still need to change is the elements from pages ( the homepage should be replace with the one from default pro but the rest of them will remain the same) in these you should replace the blocks with flex blocks and the Big Grids with Big Grids Flex, these are the the elements that you can use without the standard pack -> https://i.imgur.com/vyf9SdW.png -> https://i.imgur.com/5vP3n0L.png -> https://i.imgur.com/IAfMAAk.png -> https://i.imgur.com/j7JVwsV.png so as long you have only these elements on your pages when you’ll deactivate the standard pack this will look normal if you have some standard elements will be display a shortcode.
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Hello,
so this is what I need to do:
1) Do a full backup with database
2) Load the Pro Defualt
3) Load Pro Defualt Home Page
4) Replace Big Grids with Big Grids Flex
Questions:
1) I noticed that there are only a few flex blocks and my other content uses many of the other blocks. Can I still use regular block or is that a Big No No.Is Flex the only blocks that can be used or are there others?
2) I noticed when I deactivate the the “standard pack” my header (defualt pro) it changes to a text based header and my logo disappears.
Thank you
Hello !
Deactivating the Standard pack will cause the short-codes to not be rendered. You will have to use either flex blocks which have multiple design options as you can see it here: https://www.screencast.com/t/Q92w2iF3x6 Also you can choose from more than 200 blocks available in the cloud here: https://www.screencast.com/t/t4QKEpZbr
Deactivating the standard pack you will have to use only cloud templates, which will be fully editable using the tagDiv Composer.
I hope this was helpful !
Thank you !
Hello,
1) So, all the cloud templates (including headers) and all the blocks will allow me to disable the “standard pack plugin” and will get me the speed I’m looking to achieve.
2) Do you have to associate the header to anything so it is standard throughout the theme.
3) I also noticed the cloud templates all use different fonts… can I universally change them or are they set by default er section.
4) I also can’t find all the pieces for the default pro.
Thank you
Hello !
1. I don’t quite understand what you are trying to achieve.
2. In order to create the header please follow our header manager tutorial. This will apply to your whole website: https://forum.tagdiv.com/header-manager/
3. Unfortunately you cannot at the moment. You will have to go through each element using tagdiv composer and set the fonts. It is recommended to use 1-2 fonts at most.
4. Here are all the elements that Pro Demo imports: https://www.screencast.com/t/JZHc6nDNj This is for the default.
I hope this was helpful !
Thank you !
