The replacement plugin solved the issue for me. Thanks.

Hi @bettina and @StudentLife

Thanks for your help. After updating Newspaper and learning about cloud templates (brilliant!) I now have it working.

My posts are linked to multiple Categories so it didn’t work properly until I set the Primary Category on the post to the correct one, and then the post template was picked up from the theme settings just as I wanted. Perhaps this can help you as well @StudentLife?

Thanks again.

<quote>you can have different single post cloud templates for your categories.</quote>

Thanks for getting back to me. Even with cloud templates I cannot see any option to set a default post template for a specific category. Could you point me to where that option is please? I have reviewed the documentation and cannot find it anywhere.

Ah. I see!
That’s the piece of the puzzle I was missing. Thanks!

Hi Calin,

I’ve followed the process in your link but it doesn’t work well.

I have a Row with 2 columns, col1 is set to Layout->Width=40% and col2 is set to Layout->Width=60%.

I then have an inner row of 2 columns inside col1, and an inner row of 3 columns inside col2.

This is per your suggestion above if I have understood correctly.

There are two problem with this:
1. The only way to get even sized columns is to sel column gap to 0 everywhere and use padding inside the columns to create space. Not too big a problem.
2. When viewing on mobile, the outer columns keep enforcing their 40% and 60% widths so the columns don’t use the full width and don’t stack nicely.

Can you suggest and alternative approach to get 5 cols working please?

Hi Calin,

I have just experienced this exact same thing, although in my case I hadn’t customised the widgets at all.
I had Newspaper 8 installed with all the default widget / sidebars in place and have just been working on loading articles etc before launch.
I followed the process to upgrade to 9 and had a couple of issues with template menu settings being lost (easy to rectify and re-select the correct menu I want to use in each place).
However, I have also now lost all sidebar settings and all widget settings. So my sidebars are all empty and widgets all have no settings at all – completely gone.
I really don’t want / have time to re-build the default sidebars and widget settings as they were in Newspaper 8 from scratch. Is there a way to recover them or do you have some way I can copy the default setup to get me back up and running quickly?
Is there anyway to ‘backup’ custom sidebar or widget settings in future before doing a theme update?
Please look at ways to avoid these problems with widgets in future.
Thanks,
Tim
