how to update to 3.3 patch
I love this theme! But I was unable to use the new Envato Toolkit to update the theme. Here are the instructions I followed: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-automatically-update-newspaper-theme/
The updater did make a backup and place it where it said it would. But it did not upload/install the updated version of the theme. This took down my site (blank) and would not allow me into the WP backend (also just blank). I fixed the problem by downloading the backed up files via ftp, creating a new Newspaper directory in the themes directory, and then uploading the unzipped backed up files. It all works well again. But I am not updated. So it seems a fix is required for this toolkit.
I see there are many updates constantly, and I find very interesting improvements, but I have a question about it, I have to install each update one by one or the last one is enough if I have spent a … rather, the last update contains the above or you need to install them all in order to come out?

uuu have to try that tool đ
UPDATE:
the new Envato Toolkit to update the theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-automatically-update-newspaper-theme/
first backed up my theme and when I pressed update theme it deleted my theme O_O
Why?
to me the same thing happened to me..
TIP:
1) do updates via FTP if you can
2) we’ve had nothing but problems with the envato “theme updater” – I recommend avoiding it unless you are very savvy in doing full backups of your site via FTP prior to running the plugin (in which case you wouldn’t likely use it anyway)
3) FTP is always best because you can a) make full snapshot backup of your site files, including images, themes, core WP files, config, htaccess, etc. – and also do a dbase backup via WP Admin > tools > Export (all); b) upload files so you know they are properly uploaded
CAVEAT/CAUTION: if your site has ownership permissions where files/folders are “owned” by Apache/server and not the ftpuser, then you may NOT want to use the FTP method for updates. If you are unable to replace your theme folder due to being “owned” by Apache, you can rename the theme folder, then upload fresh copy by FTP which would be “owned” by the ftpuser and not server. You can view “ownership” permissions of your folders by going to your hosting > filemanager > public root > files … “who” owns the folders will be shown in that application.
And YES, you can upgrade from 3xx to 3xxxx without first installing 3xxx.
New to FTP? Good to learn. Filezilla is free and open source way to get started.
