Hi Calin,

yes, I read through the WP codex Child themes section (https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/) and it seems still the old way: I could potentially copy the header.php file from the parent theme (let’s say in our case: Newspaper) and could modify header.php.

My question is: After the change from Newspaper v9.7.2. to v9.7.3 that doesn’t seem to work anymore, at least not without removing the first few code lines from header.php where tdc_header is called.
It seems that everything after that code in header.php is ignored? Is that correct?
If so, how would I make a child theme’s header.php work in Newspaper? Eliminating the call for tdc_header doesn’t do it because, as you said, all the functionality had been moved to the tagdiv composer plugin.
In v9.7.2 it was not a problem to make changes to header.php — in v9.7.3 it seems difficult — any pointer how to make a child theme’s header.php or footer.php work?

Thanks,
Frank

Thanks, Calin, for clarifying — in my case my work-around is to add the script and link-tags into Newspaper’s theme panel section for Google Analytics / script code. I am happy that also link tags work in that section and aren’t filtered out.
Suggestion: May be that section title should be not specific to Google Analytics?: may be something like “Script, meta, link etc tags for the head section”? And for the footer area, of course.

Not that I have need right now for changing more in the header php file… but would there be a way to do so in the future? How does Envato’s requirement go along with WP child theme concept?

Thanks
Frank

One more question please…
BTW, the cloud lib is a beautiful concept and makes the theme even more wonderful.!!!
The whole theme is great!

I downloaded/created 2 SINGLE templates, e.g. #29 and #15. I understand how to modify them etc., I also understand how to assign such template to a post or generally to all posts.

My question is: I can’t get (the default) sidebar working for those templates. I a) assigned the template to a post, then in the POST’s setting area b) I set the sidebar for that post … but it is not displayed.
Otherwise IF i add a WIDGET SIDEBAR to the TEMPLATE I can make the sidebar work for the template but I won’t be able to set the sidebar on a PER POST basis? Is that correct?

Best
Frank
