Installation issues on WP 4.1

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 3

Hello,

I am running WordPress 4.1 for multiple sites. I installed the Newspaper theme and its included plugins:
tagDiv Cloud Library
tagDiv Composer
tagDiv Mobile Theme
tagDiv Newsletter
tagDiv Social Counter
tagDiv Speed Booster

When I activate tagDiv AMP, I get this error message:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_parse_url() in /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/td-amp/includes/amp-helper-functions.php on line 35

So I removed it.

Then I tried to activate the theme, I get:

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_util.php on line 1385

My memory limit is at 256MB so I tried commenting those lines in td_util.php:

foreach ( td_fonts::$font_names_google_list as $font_id => $font_name ) {
$list[$font_id] = $font_name;
}
if ( $flip ) {
$list = array_flip( $list );
}

I am able to get to the “You are previewing Newspaper” sidebar with a blank page and the following message in the logs:

PHP Warning: Illegal offset type in /usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 560
[…37 times…]

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_scripts() in /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_wp_booster_functions.php on line 528

I am wondering if I got the right version of Newspaper for WP 4.1. What am I missing?

Thanks!

Hi,

Unfortunately I do not know what version of theme you have install, but please make sure that the theme system status is configured as mentioned in the requirements guide. Please follow the guide carefully
https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/

Also please make a test on subdomain or localhost and install the latest WP and Newspaper theme.

Thank you for your understanding.

I have Newspaper version 9.2.

Which version of WP would you recommend?

Everything seems to work fine on WP 4.9.

Thank you!

Hi,

Some users recommend to test the new WordPress update (WP 5) on a local copy of the website, or testing environment, not the live website. This would be safer indeed.

Others will not make the update for the time being and prefer to monitor the developing situation, for example
https://yoast.com/should-you-update-to-wordpress-5-0/
https://wpml.org/2018/12/wait-before-updating-to-wordpress-5-0/

If you find any problems with the Newspaper 9.2 and WP 5, please let as know them.

Thanks
