I have version 6 of Newspaper and two updates have come out (I believe). I’m planning on doing a backup first and then updating the theme. My questions:
1. If I made theme panel changes will the update modify them?
2. Is there a chance that the plugins I have will need to be re-installed or will they stay on the site?
3. Will post categories stay in place?
4. Anything else to be aware of before I do the theme update?
Thanks for the great and fast support answers…you guys rock!
One more. Specifically, if we added the demo content and then added our own content, will the theme update erase all our settings? We loved the demo layout and spent a lot of time adding our own content, etc. We don’t want to start from scratch again and have to make visual composer sections. Thanks!
Hello,
Normally it shouldn’t affect any of your settings/posts/categories/plugins. There are plugin updates in our new versions of the theme like rev slider 5 and new version of visual composer (plugins that come with the theme).
There is nothing to worry about. Just make sure to do a backup and then follow our update guide and things will be unchanged.

Thank you!
If I have version 6, do I need to update visual composer?
Hello Sejpost,
Visual composer was updated in our latest version (6.5) If you have version 6.4 or lower, we recommend updating the theme and visual composer as well.
Thank you.
