hello,
recently I got an email from theme forest to say theres an update available for newspaper. Therefore I downloaded it. However, I’m unsure If I should be doing this manually?
I seen on the documentation that you can do this through the cpanel in file manager. However, some of the instructions it has mentioned, I was not able to find on mine, for example the theme selection in file manager.
I thought I could maybe download the new one in the theme panel but theres no option.
If I have to do this manually, is there a chance I could loose the content already on my website now? as I’m new to this and not sure how to do a back up.
Thanks
Hi,
The settings from our theme are saved in database, therefore these will not be lost when you’ll update the theme, but please note that if you have set same extra code in theme files this will be lost if is not set in a child theme.

Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Thank you. However, maybe mine may be updated to the latest one already? as I do not have the update option, my only options are as follows: Welcome, plugins, support, Install demos, system status and theme panel.
When I select welcome, it gives me v 10.2? is this the newest update?
Many thanks!
Hi,
The theme update option was added only later in Newspaper v10.3, that’s way you do not have this option.
You can use the FTP/cPanel method -> https://tagdiv.com/update-newspaper-theme/
Thank you!
