Hi, if I install the new version of Newspaper updated, will i lose the changes that i did on the WordPress’ “Editor”? For examples, codes i wrote on the header.php or the facebook pixel.
Is there any way i can make a child theme so all the edits i do on the code remain when I’ll update the theme?
I bought “Newspaper 9” 5 months ago, I’m happy with it but I don’t want to lose all the code edits on the WordPress editor.
Is there a solution to this? Like “create a child theme” for Newspaper 9?
Hi,
Modifications made directly to the theme files will be lost, as the old files will be replaced with the new updated files. A child theme can be created and you can modify and add code in the theme files there

However note that having a child theme and adding code or modifying files in it is not update proof. Some files can be modified by us, meaning the serving the old files from a child theme can create problems. Like in this case

Let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks
