Please I need a hand here

Hi there,

First of all, please accept my apologies all of these.

Please allow me to ask a few things about customization of the new Newspaper version 7.0.

1. Since I am doing some customization on my site and based on what I had read on the documentation and on your rules that any update of the Theme we should try again to re-implement the code for our customization, so I decided instead of doing that again and again is to add the Child Theme, that any update of the Theme still the customization of site will be there right? Please advise if this the best option? Hope it will.

2. (If Serial 1 is not the best option, leave this.) Please advise if this is correct to Add a Child Theme via FTP I will just add the Folder “Newspaper-child” located in /code folder? base on this Tutorial Link to add it under “wp-content/themes” right? by just dragging it via FTP? same on this Image Link.

3. Author Box Card replace it with USERPRO shortcode.
Filename:
/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/loop-single-12.php – this is my style number

ShortCode to add:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[userpro template=card user=author]');?>

Original String Structure:

<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_social_sharing_bottom();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_next_prev_posts();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author_box();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_item_scope_meta();?>
</footer>


Modified String Structure: Please advise if this is correct syntax code?

<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_social_sharing_bottom();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_next_prev_posts();?>
<?php echo do_shortcode('[userpro template=card user=author]');?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_item_scope_meta();?>
</footer>


3.a. If I am using a Child Theme I just copy the Filename then create a directory structure path in the child theme as in the theme and paste the Filename based on this Tutorial Link aight?

4. Sign In/Join Desktop view popup version using USERPRO shortcode
Filename: wp-content/themes/Newspaper/parts/header/top-menu.php

ShortCode to add:

<div class="td-login-wrap">
' . do_shortcode('[userpro template=login]') . '


Original String Structure:

//<span class="td-sp-ico-logout"></span>
echo '<ul class="top-header-menu td_ul_logout">
<li class="menu-item">' .
get_avatar($current_user->ID, 20) . 'ID) . '" class="td_user_logd_in">' . $current_user->display_name . '' .
'
<li class="menu-item">
<i class="td-icon-logout"></i>' . __td('Logout', TD_THEME_NAME) . '

echo '<ul class="top-header-menu td_ul_login"><li class="menu-item">' . __td('Sign in / Join', TD_THEME_NAME) . '<span class="td-sp-ico-login td_sp_login_ico_style"></span>';

6.a. Same on Serial 3.a. question.

7. If there is a new update of the Theme like for example: header.php as we added a Custom Code on version 6.x.x has 92 Lines + 2 Lines on our Custom Code both on Main Theme and Child Theme then a new update came version 7.0 header.php has 98 Lines, since our Child Theme had originally 92 Lines, are we going to update also our Child Theme structure based on the latest one from 92 Lines to 98 Lines then + 2 Lines on our Custom code?

8. Mobile Theme Plugin – if I install this plugin would the Child Theme modification will reflect to this? I mean I made changes in Serial 3, 5 and 6 will it reflect also? Please advise.

8.a. Whats the difference between Theme Panel background color for mobile vs Mobile Theme Plugin Settings background color? Which one should I make the changes if this Plugin is installed?

8.b. Gradient color – may I ask the exact hex number of this color? Link Here

9. Am I allowed to create directory structure and add the following filename on the Child Theme incase all of the above are possible to my site.

>loop-single-12.php
>top-menu.php
>For Serial 5 filename
>header.php

I have sent my Login Credentials via mail incase you may need it with the same Subject here.

Regards

Hi Bogdan,
