Overriding td_composer page templates after upgrade

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 4

I just upgraded to 9.7 and all page templates are now moved from the theme to the td-composer plugin. Here is the relative path:

td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/

Prior to the upgrade, all page templates were in the root of the parent theme:
“page-pagebuilder-title”
“page-pagebuilder-latest.php”

I want to override this page template from the child theme:

“td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/page-pagebuilder-latest.php” – “page-pagebuilder-latest.php” –

I created a folder structure in my child theme as such: “td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/” but the page templates in my child theme are not overriding the legacy files in the plugin.

How can I override the moved files to the legacy folder in the td-composer plugin from my child theme?

Please advise. Thank you!

Hello,

Please note that the child theme cannot affect plugins.
Most of the theme files were moved into the tagdiv composer plugin as per the requirements of envato: https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000472383-WordPress-Theme-Requirements.
We wrote an article on the subject here: https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
Moving forward with such requirements, a child theme will only work with functions.php, and style.css (and the files that remain in the root folder of the theme) as envato requires all functionality to be added through plugins.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for understanding.
What is the modification you made to the templates as maybe you can implement it through the tagdiv composer and cloud library.

Thank you!

Thanks for the response.

One of the changes we made to the page template (page-pagebuilder-latest.php) was to exclude the article listing at the bottom of the page.

We do not want to display any blog posts on this page. We modified the page template so it excluded this section.

Line 111-203

Can we exclude this section with the Post Loop Settings on the page?

Hi,

If you want to change the page-pagebuilder-latest.php you’ll need to go in wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/page-pagebuilder-latest.php -> https://www.screencast.com/t/CbLwD8LqLI
Hope this will help you!

Thanks!
