Wow, newspaper6, this is pretty cool stuff.

I am about to upgrade just want to check what should I do

1) Back up the database?
2) upload the new files to the same wordpress folder or a different folder?
3) run the update script?

Please advise, thank you

Hi,

Yes, there is a guide how to update the theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ I suggest to delete the old theme, then upload version 6. Also disable all your plugins when you update and then update the theme’s plugins, you can find them in the /plugins folder. You may have to re-add widgets on the sidebars.
Don’t forget to regenerate thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/

Hope this helps!

Nice site! But check out the footer logo if you haven’t noticed already – it’s the newspaper 6 logo, not yours

The new update is fantastic.

1. Deleted old theme and uploaded the new version, activated, etc. I’ve disabled all my plugins and am getting this error on the front page:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function vc_column_offset_class_merge() in /nas/wp/www/staging/****/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/vc_templates/vc_column.php on line 22

I’ve only got visual composer plugin activated.

2. We have an existing site with content and the old shortcoded blockquotes appear to be missing, which makes the previous content with the blockquotes in it show the raw shortcodes. Did the shortcodes not get carried over? Is there an easy way to fix this?

Thanks! Unbelievable job on this theme.

Hi,

1. Please make sure that you use the latest version of Visual Composer activate it from here – http://screencast.com/t/sICGwGTQXQTh and check the version – http://screencast.com/t/f1AAZ0ayq

2. We removed the quotes shortcodes, we use html with classes now. The quotes are not updated by the script, sorry. We tried to add them but on some cases there was a chance for errors to appear an we decided not to include them in the script.

Try to add the following code at the end of the functions.php file – http://screencast.com/t/OWxqEsYVKhttp://pastebin.com/NZEJsWQZ

Another thing: the ads that are at the tops and bottom of the content (the in-content ads) are aligned right and I am not able to find anything in the theme panel or in the documentation.

Thanks

Hi,

Please provide a link so we can take a look at this. Top and bottom ads should not be aligned to the right – http://screencast.com/t/8q5h7iCAU

Mobile screencaps: Misaligned ads
Blackberry Z30, though the commenters have provided feedback that both iPhone and Android OS are getting the same problems. All the Google ads are set to responsive, so they adapt to the size of the computer screen.

Hi,

Do you use the latest version of the theme 6.1? There was an issue in version 6 but it was solved in last update. You can check this solution – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/after-theme-update-ads-appear-alight-right-side-on-safari/

This css comes from the plugin that you use for comments, please try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css and see if it works – http://screencast.com/t/VL9of1MX8

.fyre .fyre-comment-action-button, .fyre a.fyre-mobile-action-button {
height: 25px !important;
}

Thanks!
