Hi!
I’m planning to update the Newspaper theme on my site, but I have a lot of custom code implemented. What’s the best and safest way to update the theme without breaking or losing these customizations?
Also, I want to add a second language version of the site. Right now the site is in Russian, and I’d like to manually add a Kazakh version of the homepage and selected posts using Polylang.
Are there any best practices I should follow to make sure everything works smoothly with the theme and doesn’t break anything?
I couldn’t find detailed guidance online for my specific case, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
For a second language the best way will be to use the WPML plugin – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-theme-translations-together-wpml/ (tested with the theme), also there are other similar plugins that you can try, but WPML is the only one tested officially with our theme and we can help you wit it and settings.
Related to the theme update. If the changes have been made in the theme and plugins files, then you need to save all changes made and re-set them after the theme update. Also, there are some possibilities when the changes can be made using a child theme, but before doing any update, make sure you’ll have a full backup for the website and database.
