Hello,
Unfortunately there is no backwards compatible patch. The update patch is created from one version to another, it will not jump over theme versions. Basically what the patch does is modify just the files that were changed, but since version 6.3 quite some files were changed and patching each version (6.3->6.4>-6.5->6.6) will be almost equivalent to a fresh install anyway. What we recommend to do is to follow this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and also update visual composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Just make sure to do a back-up so if things go wrong, you will not lose any data.
Thank you!
Very simple.
Did you directly modify the theme files without the use of a child theme?. In my case I manually modified the theme’s style.css, so when I update the theme, I simply go back and minify the css file over again.
So the simplest means to update the theme and not lose your designs and settings or modifications is to simply change the theme to maybe a default one, then delete the Newspaper theme and install the theme directly in the Appearance>theme>add theme . Don’t sweat it, your settings are not lost.
Or you simply update it via FTP. Tagdiv have a nice tutorial to help you out. https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Have a wonderful day.
