Okay…so am I correct in what I am seeing that I will need to reenter all the fonts, colors and redo all the widgets?
Is it also true that the visual composer frontend is not compatible with version 6?
Will future updates to this theme require that I jump through tons of hoops to get my site back to where it was initially?
See the before: http://gatherinsight.com/
And the mess I will have to fix here in my staging area: http://gatherinsight.staging.wpengine.com
If this is a one time fix no biggie. If not maybe I should find a new theme.
is there a shortcut to not need to reenter the styles?
Can someone please answer these questions?
Hi,
Sorry for delay we don’t work on weekends! We answer to the most oldest topics so if you add a new replies we get later to your topic.
Newspaper 6 is a whole new theme that is released for free for all of our existing customers so an update from 4 to 6 may cause the same issues as switching to another theme (but we did try to maintain compatibility where ever possible). We also changed the page templates I guess that you have used the default page template that allowed sidebar automatically to your content. Unfortunately in version 6 if you use the default or pagebuilder with latest articles you have to add the sidebar using pagebuilder. Try to change the template to pagebuilder with title and see how it looks – http://screencast.com/t/F85RTexAME
Also the block title style 1 that you used in previous version doesn’t exist anymore in version 6, that’s why appear this background issue for block title and you have to edit each homepage block and change the background color – http://screencast.com/t/7qRvDzjc
The VC frontend editor is deactivated from the theme files, as it doesn’t work with the theme’s blocks. You can activate it if you comment/delete this code – http://screencast.com/t/o8tlhjUyh
We tried to find the best way for the transition(the script), but some issues may appear. We are very sorry for all the problems that the update caused and if you cannot use the theme, we can arrange for a full refund(send an email at contact@tagdiv.com with you request,also paste a link to this topic and we will explain the procedure).
Sorry for inconvenience!
