Hi,
In version 4, the post template that I had set to default was number 4. It had a feature image.
The new version 6 has a post template number 4 as one where the text cuts the image. This doesn’t fit on website and I wanted the new post template to be style 3 or style 7, however the posts that had teh default 4 going for them earlier now look very bad on the pages. How can I change the sitewide post template to be 3 or 7 (some kind of reset?)
Please help!

Hello Trivik,
Unfortunately there is no reset option for post templates. The theme works like this: when you set a site wide post-template from the theme panel, it will be applied to all posts that have the default post template set. If you change it from posts edit, it will override the theme panel. There is no reverse option. You can edit each post and set it to default. Then you will have the same post template for all posts.
You can read more about the subject in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/post-templates-2/
Thank you.
Hi Bogdan,
I understand that part. I am curious why the post templates in the theme upgrade were not ordered the same way. [Number 3(4.0) retaining similar style in Number 3(6.0)?] My entire content now looks totally different from what I had previously.
Is there no way to program it on my end also?
Thanks for getting back to me.
I appreciate it.

Hi,
That is because theme version 6 is a totally new theme. It was built from scratch in order to have a more functional, cleaner code. Much was changed from version 4 to 6.
You can change post templates the classic way and edit every post and set the template manually, or you can try and use a plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/ to replace
single_template_4 with single_template_7 in your posts from the DB.
Just make sure to back-up your Database beforehand: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
Thank you very much Bogdan.
I will look into the post you shared.
