Hi there …
I am running the newaspaper theme on http://www.1-2-family.de .
Now I am thinking about switching to newsmag.
Reasons are simple:
Our magazine is just a magazine (including news) but first of all it’s a magazine.
But: Is it possible to switch and import the styles and options from newspaper (with the import function)?
And what about things like visual composer built homepages and stuff like that? Will newsmag recognize this?
Best regards
Torsten
Hi
The import function won’t work properly from Newspaper to Newsmag because the selectors are different from one theme to another. For example if in Newspaper theme you have a background color set for main menu by importing the style in Newsmag this option won’t work. Some of the options will e recognized bot some will not be because of the difference between the css selectors.
The pages built with Visual Composer will be recognized by Newsmag theme as the shortcodes are the same. It won’t be recognized for example a block 18 because in Newsmag theme this block does not exist, but the commune elements will be recognized fine.
Also you will have to regenerate all thumbnails as Newsmag uses different sizes then Newspaper: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Before making any changes make sure you do a full backup to your current wp-install and the database also: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups This is a security measure, in case something goes wrong you can always get back to the previous version.
I hope this help.
Thanks!
