After the Newspaper tagdiv theme was updated to 9.7, the support that it had for extending and overriding the post templates from the child theme had been removed and all the template functionality moved to the td-composer plugin.
To keep the support that existed for child themes, like overriding the Newspaper parent theme templates, this is the code that I had to add to one of the Newspaper core classes.
Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_api.php file line 365, added the following code:
if((stripos($the_component['file'], td_global::$get_template_directory) !== false)) {
$child_path = get_stylesheet_directory() . str_replace(td_global::$get_template_directory, '', $the_component['file']);
$the_component['located_in_child'] = true;
}
elseif((stripos($the_component['file'], TDC_PATH) !== false)) {
$child_path = get_stylesheet_directory() . str_replace(TDC_PATH, '', $the_component['file']);
$the_component['located_in_child'] = true;
}
if (isset($child_path) && file_exists($child_path)) {
$the_component['file'] = $child_path;
}Newspaper 9.7.3 Update
In this updated version, the td_api.php file has been moved together with other core files to the td-composer plugin, so the code above has to be added inside the td-composer plugin.
The new td_api.php file location is:
wp-content\plugins\td-composer\legacy\common\wp_booster\td_api.php
I tried adding in your additional code, but I don’t even see a td_api.php file in the wp-booster folder?
Hey @Ap,
I’ve just updated the article, as in the New version of the Newspaper theme, the files have been again moved to the td-composer plugin.
Best!
Hi,
Overriding version 9.8 (td_api.php file look the same on 9.7, 9.7.3 and 9.8), I can’t see where to add the code because line 365 is inside a if statement/condition :
and (stripos($the_component[‘file’], td_global::$get_template_directory) == 0)
Any idea ?
Thanks.
Hi Guillaume,
