tagDiv Multi-Purpose plugin not loading in 8.5

Hello,
I am developing locally in MAMP (MAC). I upgraded from Newspaper 8.2 to 8.5. Everything seems to work fine accept the new Landing Page feature (“tagDiv Multi-Purpose” plugin) does not function. Specifically,
• the “tagDiv Multi-Purpose” plugin is installed and “active”.
• I create a new page using “Pagebuilder + Overlay menu” template page setting.
• PROBLEM: None of the buttons are available under “Elements” when I try to edit and build the page with tagDiv Composer.

Under “Themes Panel” > “PLUGINS’ SETTINGS” > “General Settings” > “BUTTONS STYLE” this alert appears:

wp booster error:
td_apibase::mark_used_on_page : a component with the ID: tds_api is not set.
/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/newspaper2018/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_api.php

wp booster error:
Missing parameter: ‘file’
/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/newspaper2018/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_autoload_classes.php

Could you tell me how to remedy this problem?
Thank you.

Same problem here. Was all excited about the new blank template but seems like the update wasn’t tested?

I have the same problem. In addition I get a fatal error displayed below.

Working for me, but using on test site, not a MAMP server. Only using TD Composer, no minification plugins and not using the tagdiv booster plugin, not using CDN, or any external stuff. Using PHP 7.1x with https.

Working one site (Dreamhost) and not working on another site hosted by Bluehost.

REMINDER for those upgrading — you need to *delete* old theme folder, then upload new version via FTP to ensure no broken files/pieces; not over-write/merge 8.x and 8.5 (!).

I made all modifications suggested in the “System Status” section of the “Themes Panel”. I also installed a fresh install of WordPress and Newspaper 8.5 on MAMP. And still none of the buttons are available under “Elements” when I try to edit and build the page with tagDiv Composer. See screen capture here.
Also strange, Notice when the “tagDiv Multi-Purpose” plugin is active, the Admin Themes Panel color scheme converts to flat gray. The Admin Themes Panel color scheme is blue in Newspaper 8.5 (same as it was in 8.2) when the “tagDiv Multi-Purpose” plugin is disabled. I noticed in the Newspaper 8 tutorial videos, no such “gray theme” appears when the plugin is active.

UPDATE: Newspaper 8.5.1 was just released and installed. Nothing was corrected.

I am hoping that the team is working on this. I can confirmed all the above.

I reinstalled the the new version of Newspaper and plugins all work now!!! I did this via FTP. Clear the cache – all good now. Thanks Team tagDiv.

I am having this exact same error, with the addition of the following in the PHP error log:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'tds_api' not found in /home/morebusi/public_html/morebusiness.com/wp-content/plugins/td-multi-purpose/td_panel_settings.php:22

I went ahead and upgraded Newspaper from 8.5 to 8.6, and re-installed td-composer, td-social-counter, and td-multi-purpose plugins, all by deleting the old ones and installing the new ones, to ensure no leftover files. I have no other td plugins installed.

I flushed the CDN caches and the browser caches and the local wordpress page cache. The error persists.

I added the following line to the top of the td_panel_settings.php file and the error went away on that page:

require_once( 'styles/tds_api.php' );

Unfortunately, a new error shows in the “font settings” tab of that page:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/morebusi/public_html/morebusiness.com/wp-content/plugins/td-multi-purpose/panel/td_panel_fonts.php on line 7

Also, the components still do not show up in the editor as far as I can see.

Any help will be appreciated.

For the record to help future visitors here: the issue with my configuration is that the child theme of Newspaper *must* be named Newspaper-child for this plugin to work when you are using a child theme.

Changing my child theme name fixed the issue for me.
