Hello, I have version 7.5. I by mistake clicked on the button:
*********
Update from Newspaper 4: To update from version 4 please run this update script. Note: please backup your site before updating!
*********
It was a mistake.
The theme has now been dropped.
In the hosting they have loaded a backup of 2 days ago, but it remains the same. You have removed the header, footer, sidebar …
In the hosting have loaded the tables of the database, files … Why not recover its previous appearance?
Thank you
Hello sonic83,
In order to achieve the best results after you will install the latest update you have to follow some rigorous steps like this -> you have to delete both of your themes, child theme, and main theme. All your customizations from your Newspaper 4 theme will do not work because all the files from this were changed in Newspaper 7.8 and as the main theme and also you lose all changes.
The Newspaper 7.8 is a whole new theme so an update from 4 to 7.8 may cause the same issues as switching to another theme (but we did try to maintain compatibility where ever possible).
Always make a full backup of your current installation – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups and then do a clean update, meaning that we recommend that you delete the old version of the theme before uploading the new one – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ update also the plugins that come bundled with the theme files from the /plugins folder. In the “how to update” guide is specified that you will have to run the script that will import from database your settings.
The shortcodes have been changed so old ones will not work anymore. Please note that old files customization or custom CSS will not work with the new version and you will have to adjust or re-add them.
Bottom line is that newspaper 7.8 is a whole new theme built from scratch.
Unfortunately, you will have to clear your agenda and spare a bit of time to adjust all your settings to the new version of the theme.
If you have already Newspaper 6 and you want only to do the update to latest version, you should make this without any problem. All your customization are recorded in the database which is not affected by this update.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi thanks! (Sorry for my English), the problem is that I did not need to update. I clicked by mistake.
My version was Newspaper 7.5
I clicked on Update from Newspaper 4, but I did not have Newspaper 4. It was a click by accident.
Everything is dislocated, header, sidebar, footer …
Then I loaded a backup 2 days ago. The backup should leave the theme restored, but it stays the same, dislocated.
My question is, what has changed the Newspaper 4 script that does not allow loading the previous backup as it was before?
Thank you
Hello sonic83,
Please keep in mind that the loading script button has no negative effect on your web site if you had already installed version 7. You should reset all your settings from theme panel and check the results. I have inspected your website and I noticed that works fine. If you had the latest version installed, the loading script button is hidden. Notice that we recommend that all the time to have your theme updated to bring the best results.
Thanks for your understanding!
