Thanks, but perhaps you should update your instructions for WordPress theme updates. The instructions below are wrong. You first have to activate a different theme before you can upload the new theme or theme updates. Re the blank page issue, I contacted my host provider and they fixed it. The theme was using too much RAM. The theme that you mention to re-install, what version is it? If it is the same version, I’m not going to bother to re=install.

Step 1 – First, navigate to Appearance > Themes
Step 2 – Click Install Themes and click the Upload button.
Step 3 – Now, browse to find the Newspaper.zip file on your computer and click Install Now
Step 4 – Activate the newly installed theme by going to Appearance > Themes and clicking the Activate button.
Step 5 – After you activate the Newspaper Theme, you will see a notification message to enable the required plugins in the Plugins section of your dashboard. The tagDiv Composer frontend page builder comes with the Newspaper Theme.
Step 6 – Click on Install Button on each plugin to start installing them. After you’ve installed them, Activate them. Now, you are all set!

No this does not help. You cannot activate a theme while one is still active. Even your own instructions say to delete the theme first. Clearly there is a bug that is not showing the delete option. Now can you stand by your product and help solve this? All the other themes show delete. Previous versions of newspaper showed delete. Can someone take a serious look at this issue and not throw out answers without truly assessing it?

I went back and tried again and yes the hover worked and theme details displays but there is no delete option. What the hell? There are 5 buttons under Details none of which are delete. The buttons are: Customize, Widgets, Menus, Edit CSS and Install plugins.

Your solution does not work. Mousing over Theme does nothing.I’m sure I’m not the only one this is happening to.

Any other ideas? Is there a way to attach a screen shot?

To place amp ads google help states to past this code in the head tag of AMP html. Where exactly in your theme does this go?
<script async custom-element=”amp-auto-ads”
src=”https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-auto-ads-0.1.js”&gt;
</script>

Then it states to place this code in the body of AMP html – where exactly should this go? What page etc. Your AmP panel, or your ad panel or where? And where within a page specifically? Thanks.

<amp-auto-ads type=”adsense”
data-ad-client=”ca-pub-9887638828220083″>
</amp-auto-ads>

Further to the above post, Where do you enter the adsense codes for AMP? Your help doc states: For AdSense ads please only use the data-ad-client and the data-ad-slot of your AdSense code like the below example:

Step 1: Select the google adsese ad type
Step 2: Place the data-ad-client and data-ad-slot in the designated fields
Step 3: Select between a fixed and a responsive ad size.

But the example shows code that is not the same as what google provides. What exactly goes into step 2 and where do you find it?

Thanks but I’m not asking about a weekly newsletter. Previously, I didn’t set up anything like described in the tutorial you provided and yet when I posted a blog that blog was emailed to me. Perhaps as a user I entered my email somewhere. Is there anything in your theme that activates this? If so, where? I believe previously I enabled something within your theme – I know I did not do any WordPress modifications for this. Thanks.

Also, there is no support info in the documentation that tells you how to set up a contact form. If there is something, let me know where. Thanks.

I just looked at plugins and there are many Contact form 7 – so can you tell me exactly which one?

The form I had just stopped working because of the upgrade and now I’m stuck having to try to replace it. Why would you do that? You leave someone without an ability to have users contact the site. Not everyone is a developer and knows what all this crap means. We just want something usable. If you remove a feature, replace it. So please let me know exactly how I can make my contact us work. Thanks.

Sorry I don’t understand what you mean. Where exactly do I go to find this form? Do I go to my Page – Contact us and insert it from there? Where do I find it? Or do I go to plugins?

Or do I add the short code in your screen shot somewhere – can you tell me where exactly I would add it?

Not sure why your contact form stopped working for the one that I had in place.

Can you tell me what contact us form I can use instead? I don’t see any options.

Update: I didn’t change anything on the contact form and after the upload the form is no longer there just the code. There is no element that I can see that inserts a form for Contact. Can you tell me what contact form is available? It seems there isn’t one. Why does the code below not work anymore if nothing changed except an update to 9?

contact-form][contact-field label=’Name’ type=’name’ required=’1’/][contact-field label=’Email’ type=’email’ required=’1’/][contact-field label=’Comment’ type=’textarea’ required=’1’/][/contact-form]

It seems it is not installing because the zip file you provided stating it is newspaper 9 is actually newspaper 8 which was there previously. Can you ensure that newspaper 9 is in the downloads? I have 8.7 active now and also an 8 available. When I deleted the 8 it works and new one installed, but it is showing as 8.

I can not activate the new theme because it does not show up. If I deactivate old theme there will be no theme. Are you saying deactivate then upload new theme and THEN activate? Because now, when I try to load version 9 it states cannot install because of duplicate folders. If it does not install obviously I cannot swap themes. What then?

Hi thanks but this is not the solution I’m looking for. I’m not interested in FTP.

I have updated easily in the past through WordPress and it should continue to be consistent. Your support info states: 1. navigate to themes 2. click install themes and upload 3. browse the newspaper zip file and click install now 4. Activate

on step 3 I get message that there is a duplicate folder and install failed. That didn’t happen with the previous two new versions that I installed the same way. So what is wrong? What do I need to do to fix THIS method of upgrading (that is in your support material).

By the way, no one wants to read long convoluted help material (that is so archaic) Videos are nice.

Thanks for your help!

I also would like to know if I move my existing domains to a new host (I have two pointing to one set of content), and move all the content to keep the site as is – no new content, do I keep the Newspaper theme without paying again? Does the theme move with the files? The current content is one on domain name but I have a 2nd domain pointing to it – I will be moving both domains to new host.

I see you mentioned using WP Duplicator plug in.

I will take a look for the mobile plug in. You used to have a section in the theme for mobile, now it’s a plug in? Anyway, the blog is there now it seems that there is a two day lag for it to display on the mobile site (using the desk top view). http://www.traveltipsandpics.com

My latest from blog posts are not showing in mobile view. What is the issue? I have not changed any settings. New blogs used to display right away on the home page. They show up on the Blog post page.

Is this version 8.7? You already had a version 8.7 out – so it was updated?

Thanks

So this is done at the webhosting site? Do we copy and paste the raw data box or the one above it?

Can you please clarify exactly where we need to replace the code? it’s not obvious for everyone.

can you share?
