If I understand correctly, we are able to set the category for the featured articles, but the “latest articles” is not filterable?

You guys really have to produce a better tutorial than the link above about how to edit the footer content (as described in this support question). The link to the tutorial showing how to create a footer template, honestly is not sufficient to do it properly.

I gave up and just used Style 5 of the default that came with this theme, and this is good enough for me.

I love this theme, but some of the how-to’s are lacking detail.

Thanks – this is actually what I have done, and it works well enough. I created a new menu and used that in the top bar, and duplicated a login/logout link, and a profile link. The menu items look very similar to the items in the theme (just without decorative icons). And there is no modal for a login screen – which would have been nice, but I guess not possible without some significant code changes. I have used a login screen customizer to add some corporate styling to the login page.

The Newspaper login does work, but I assume it has its own login code separate from the default WordPress login code?

If I try to login using the NewsPaper login, the login fails. But if I go to the wp-login.php page, I am able to login using my Active Directory user/password. At this point, my userID in the WP database has been updated with my current Active Directory password. If I then logout, and login again using the NewsPaper login – it is successful. It will be successful until my password in Active Directory changes, and I am trying to login with my new password.

The Active Directory plugin (NADI) has hooks into the WordPress login which validates a user’s credentials against Active Directory, and then updates the WordPress database with the userID and password (or just updates the password if the userID exists in WP already).

If Newspaper processes login requests differently, then the NADI plugin will not be compatible as the hooks won’t be there.

Am I correct in the assumption of how NewsPaper processes login? Is there any way to change this, or am I going to have to use the wp-login.php and disable the Sign in/Join link in the ThemePanel? I like the look of the NewsPaper login screen, but if it will never work with a plugin that validates against an LDAP directory, then I will use the default WP login method.

More on this.. when I use the wp-login.php page, the login does work properly against Active Directory.

Yes! Thank you – this worked. Rather than copying into the custom CSS though, I copied the css styles into the child themes styles.css

Thanks so much!

I just did another test – I exported my staging area using a plugin called All-In-One WP Migration. Importing this into the intranet site did restore the proper look, and all styles work.

The only issue is that the plugin deletes existing content and replaces all with the data from the export file. I would lose all my existing data, which is somewhat significant.

It does tell me that there is more to be exported/imported than what the NewsPaper theme does by default. Is there anything else that can be done to copy the missing settings?

Updated the old version of WP, and that had no effect. So there must be something that gets copied down that is not captured by the export/import.

When I setup my staging area, and I clicked to use the “News Magazine” style, it also imported the sample data.

Other than pictures and text, is there anything else that gets pulled into the WordPress install that would not be captured by the Export/Import?

Just not sure what is missing in my offline area. Is there a template or something? I don’t see any templates listed in my staging area. If there is an email addr, I could send screenshots of what things are missing.

Would the version of WP itself affect things? My staging area (on the internet) is v5.3.2 but my intranet is version v5.2.4

Note that I did use the export/import settings from the Theme Panel. This copied the colors and other panel settings, but I think there is still something missing.
