Hi guys,
today I received an E-Mail from you, informing me that you are updating your Newspaper theme to 9.7 soon, to meet the Envato requirements.
Your are also speaking of possible issues then you are running Newspaper as a childtheme on your WP installation.
That’s exactly the case for one of my websites.
I am running a childtheme, but have only modified one file in it. The headerstyle-10.php to achieve changing variable header logos.
Could anyone from your developers foresee, if I might getting trouble with that kind of modification?
When will the update to 9.7 be available?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards
Hey ho, .
I got notified from Envato that the update to Newspaper 9.7 is already available.
I updated my localhost version and tested my custom headerstyle-10.php
As expected it wasn’t working.
I figured out that the headerstyle-10.php is now located under plugins td-composer/legacy…..
I modified the “new” headerstyle-10.php there and now it seems to be working.
The thing is that my Childtheme is now unnecessary so I removed it completly.
The only problem that I got now, is that every time td-composer is updated, I have to manually replace the headerstyle-10.php in the td-composer folder.
Is there another steady solution?
Best regards
Hello,
Indeed we did foresee this but we have to stick to the new envato rules. We had to comply to the new envato rules. Please read this article: https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
The rules are the rules. Our products are envato exclusive and envato made these rules very clear for all theme developers. Every envato theme will be implementing such functionality.
On the bright side, now you do not need a child theme to make modifications to your header. Please read this guide and use the new header manager: https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-customize-the-header-manager/
Every template can now be modified using the cloud library plugin so you no longer have to go in manually to edit the code.
Thank you!
Okay I’ve made tries with your new headermanager. Changing of logos on different pages works okay.
But I still got two further questions concerning this method.
At first: Is it possible to rename a imported header template, or to define a new one with a unique name?
And Second: I am also using a variable changing header logo in single article view (single.php), depending in which primary category the post is. Could I solve this problem with the header manager too?
Best regards
Hi,
Yes you can change the header name, also you can duplicate https://www.screencast.com/t/e82K6tdvKGFt the header and change the logo, after that set the general/global header in theme panel -> https://www.screencast.com/t/VEsottoh5 and this will be applied to all pages/post that do not have set an individual header ( to set individual header on pages you need to edit theme and set from header manager the header, for post you’ll need to set the header on a single post template and apply it on posts ).
Thank you!
Since the update, I can not use my modifications saved in the child theme. I have added on all modules on the frontpage the get_views. I really want this to be selectable just like the get_comments. For now, I have to do all the changes again at each td_composer plugin update. Could this be done in an easier way?
Hi,
If this changes can be made only in theme files, then you need to do it for the moment manually on each update, sorry!
Thank you for your understanding!
Are you willing to consider to add a get_views option in the theme files?
Hi,
I do not know if this will be or not insert in our theme, what I can do is to note your suggestion on our suggestions list.
Thank you!
