Well, maybe envato’s terms have these requirements. But these requirements are absolutely opposite to what WordPress says for changes in theme files using a child theme. This is absurd in my opinion. Even so, you could create a function so we’re able to create overrides for the tagdiv composer plugin. There are plenty of plugins to offer that.
Edit: Reading more carefully in Envato’s requirements they don’t say anywhere to remove every override capability https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000480723#h_5966589781211522283728890. Unless I’m mistaken. They say:
If a child theme is provided with the theme, it must:
- Load the parent stylesheet using wp_enqueue_style() instead of @import.
- Consist of style.css, functions.php and screenshot.png files at a minimum.
- Append “Child” to the theme name so it can be identified as a child theme.
- Include files within the child theme directory using get_stylesheet_directory().
- Reference the parent theme via Template: parameter in the style.css header
- The child theme will be held to the same standards and best practices as the parent theme. For more information on Child Theme development, refer to WordPress Codex article.
I had to revert back to 9.1 until this thing gets settled.
Same here! Update from 9.1 to 9.2 and this thing happens. Looking at the source code I see img src is changed on all images on blocks to something like this: img src=”image/png;base64,iVBORw2KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAArgAAAGBAQMAAAC3k1CUAAAAA1BMVEWurq51dlI4AAAAAXRSTlMmkutdmwAAADdJREFUeNrtwTEBAAAAwiD7p7bETmAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEDuhFgAARFpDB8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=” and actual image src is: data-img-url=”https://www.site.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/ELN_0529_main-696×385.jpg”
What’s going on?
I just downloaded the zip file from themeforest. There’s no patch_8.6_8.7 inside. Only 8.7_8.7.1. Here’s a screenshot: https://postimg.org/image/yaar1muhp/.
Please provide me the right zip file somehow so I can update the theme using patch folders only.

No prob, glad I could help 🙂
Try tools.pingdom.com. Over there you can test your site for speed and other stuff.
After you test your site scroll down at the waterfall section (File requests) and view style.css file. Mine was 119kb in size. It also says that it’s gzipped. I use default demo template. Here’s a screenshot:

You should enable gzip in your webserver (either Apache, or Nginx) and then enable css and javascript compression using .htaccess for the site. This guide will help you also:
Did you try what I mentioned in my reply?
I think they forgot to include the file td_sub_footer_template_1.php in patch_8.1.1_8.5 folder. It’s in the Newspaper.zip file, in the folder parts/footer. Upload it to your site at the exact same place (Newspaper/parts/footer) and I think it will solve your problem.
OK, I think I found what’s going on. @wizard247, if you have Cloudflare please clear all caches and you will see the proper activation page after a while.
I cleared Cloudflare’s cache of my site and after a reload of the Activation page I could activate the theme no problem…
I’m having the same problems with you. After the upgrade from 7.8 to 8.0 even though I have previously activated the theme, there’s a menu in theme panel saying Activate Theme. I did everything the page says but pressing the Activate button nothing happens!
Site url is http://www.vastardisyachting.gr
Well, actually the guys over at Autoblog Greece (URL to see it live: https://www.autoblog.gr/2017/05/11/bmw-2-series-facelift-2018/) who use theme version 7.7, have already impemented it. Maybe we should ask them for help?
We’re interested too… All of the infinite scroll plugins we tried nothing seems to work, and most plugin authors do not support Newspaper 7, as they say it doesn’t follow WordPress coding standards, which is true in many ways.
Infinite scroll in post page is kinda a must for most sites today. Almost everybody uses it!
OK I found out that this CSS Classes textbox is from Widget CSS Classes plugin. If I disable it then there’s no Extra CSS textbox like there is at the visual composer page.
We’re using the latest Newspaper version 7.6.1. Up until version 7.5 tagDiv widgets had the Extra CSS textbox for classes at the widget options as well. Now version 7.6.1 this extra class textbox is not present at widgets!
You should definitely enable it again! It’s essential for us and I guess for other customers as well…
Nevermind, I found it. Using get_excerpt() works as expected!
Hello,
I would also like to include some text after the title from the content not from subtitle, or excerpt. I know how to strip html tags so it won’t include an image or anything funky, but when I try to put the following code:
$buffy .= $this->get_title();//$this->get_title_main();
$buffy .= $this->get_content();
inside the td_module_slide.php I’m getting an error saying:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method td_module_slide::get_content() in /home/site/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/includes/modules/td_module_slide.php on line 47
Is there anything I’m missing? I mean, if some modules can support text from content, why td_module_slide can’t?
Well, you do have a variety of blocks available indeed. But none of them can cover my desired appearance. It’s like having a block 4 page with only two posts, with the first block taking a little more percent than the second. Say 66% the left block and 33% the right one. And at the second example 75% the left block and 25% the right one.
Also I would like to have a category page like that:

One post followed by ten other posts, and at the right hand side is the sidebar. But at theme panel options there is no module that could display content like this. I tried creating my own module and block to make it how I wanted, just like the image posted above; but I couldn’t make it work.
I can give you access to the site if you like to help us.
Thank you!
