I love this theme! But I was unable to use the new Envato Toolkit to update the theme. Here are the instructions I followed: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-automatically-update-newspaper-theme/
The updater did make a backup and place it where it said it would. But it did not upload/install the updated version of the theme. This took down my site (blank) and would not allow me into the WP backend (also just blank). I fixed the problem by downloading the backed up files via ftp, creating a new Newspaper directory in the themes directory, and then uploading the unzipped backed up files. It all works well again. But I am not updated. So it seems a fix is required for this toolkit.
