@giacomolaw what’s wrong? Did you already fix issue?
For me website loaded correct :/
I had to role it back to a previous version. Really worried it will happen again.
@giacomolaw perhaps you have issue with file uploading…
How you tried update theme? with patch? or upload new theme directly?
try use plugin Update Theme and Plugins from Zip File
and upload new theme zip file
after installation new theme you not need activate it just ignore this step.
Also this plugin have a great option to save backup old theme or plugin version(check settings)
If you no have modified files in your theme this is the best way to update Newspaper theme without errors!
I believe its an issue with 9.5. Going to hold back to update now, going to see if anything is fixed in later versions as I know people are having issues with 9.5.
@giacomolaw I have few different project based on Newspaper… all updated to version 9.5 without any error. I always update theme using ZIP file and just re upload theme using plugin which I link you before.
Just try!, You always can roll back.
@reatlat I had it updated and I think it caused the issue. I am using a child theme. Don’t really see any real benefit of updating to the latest version anyway as it seems to add more clutter such as extra demo themes.
Does 9.5 offer speed improvements?
Going to skip this version.
Thanks 😀
@giacomolaw have no idea about speed 🙁
Newspaper theme is pretty slow 🙁
Looking around how improve it,
I think best benefits which you can get its bug fixing, and security updates!
For me this point much important, but fix performance will be great too 🙂
Here are the change notes: https://tagdiv.com/newspaper/
No security fixes, just more clutter 🙁
I must admit that I am very disappointed with how slow the theme is. I wish they allowed you to remove the demo themes, and any of the clutter that you don’t use.
9.5 doesn’t add to anything I use, so going to skip it until they release a more stable version that won’t revert my site useless again.
Hi GiacomoLaw,
If you want to make the update to 9.5 cu can make a full backup to your website and send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login, as well as cPanel or FTP if possible. We will make some investigation and make the update for you ( also if you have child theme is possible to need to be deactivate ) . Include a link to this topic in the email.
Thank you for your understanding!
Awesome, will do, thanks! Will try to do this evening.
