Hi,

Please make sure you use the latest version of the theme (7.6) and try to use an older version of php 7. We tested php 7.0 but I’m nost sure it was 7.0.15 when we tested it. Try an older 7.0

Thank you!

Thanks for the reply, sadly i can’t rollback the PHP version.

What i do to fix this is by replace mysql_real_escape_string() with esc_sql() on Newspaper & Newspaper-Child function.php.

This fixed my problem, hope it help.
