A few minutes ago, I tried to install and activate the Newspaper mobile plugin, but it failed.
Below is the error message.
Fatal error: Cannot declare class Mobile_Detect, because the name is already in use in /home/240585.cloudwaysapps.com/nsfwdtrwgu/public_html/wp-content/plugins/td-mobile-plugin/Mobile_Detect.php on line 28
Thank you!
Hi,
You can not install the mobile theme because you already have a file with that name in theme files.
Please delete the plugin from …/wp-content/plugins/td-mobile-plugin ( host file ), and install it again ( you’ll find it here https://www.screencast.com/t/Va2eHHA7T ).
This should resolve your problem.
Thank you.
I did as you stated. Now, this is what I’ve got, “The TagDiv Mobile Theme is not supported by the current activated theme. Please update your theme!
File message: /home/240585.cloudwaysapps.com/zrwhnstuxd/public_html/wp-content/plugins/td-mobile-plugin/td-mobile-plugin.php.”
Moreover, are you familiar with this WPBakery Page Builder plugin? Do I need it? If the answer is no, can I delete it?
Thank you!
Hi,
You need to use the mobile plugin that come with the theme version you are using, for example if you have Newspaper v9.1 the only mobile theme plugin that will work for you will be the one from that package.
So if you want you can update the theme to the last version 9.5 and use the mobile theme from the package that you have download or you check what version of newspaper you have and you send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and ask for mobile theme for your version of theme.
The WPBakery Page Builder plugin is a secondary builder in our theme, is your decision to use or not, we recommend tagDiv Composer , so if you are not using it you can delete it.
Thanks.
This is what happened: I’ve installed and activated the latest mobile theme plugin, which was released on February 6, 2019. But the main theme is Version 9.2.2, not 9.5.
While I downloaded the latest theme version to my computer hard drive on February 6th, it hasn’t been updated yet on WordPress. How do I update it? I mean, the method for theme update isn’t as convenient as plugins’. As you know, installed plugins can be updated with just one click on WordPress.
So, need I reinstall and activate the theme whenever its update is released?
Hi,
If you want to make a theme update you have 3 ways to do it, please check your documentation for theme update -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
How to update a plugin -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-how-to-update-a-plugin/
If you do not want to update the theme and use the mobile theme for Newspaper 9.2.2 please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and ask for mobile theme v9.2.2 and we’ll provide for you.
Thank you for your understanding!
Now, my Newspaper theme is Version 9.5 on WordPress. Still, I’ve got this error message after hitting the Activate button of the mobile theme plugin, even though its old name had been disabled.
“Fatal error: Cannot declare class Mobile_Detect, because the name is already in use in /home/240585.cloudwaysapps.com/nsfwdtrwgu/public_html/wp-content/plugins/td-mobile-plugin/Mobile_Detect.php on line 28”
But then I saw the mobile theme plugin description as follows:
“tagDiv Mobile Theme. Loads a simple mobile theme on small devices. Please note that the theme is already responsive and this plugin is not required. Version 1.1 | built on 06.02.2019 12:12 | By tagDiv | Visit plugin site”
Perhaps, it’s not a required plugin. What do you think?
Also, I’ve activated the tagDiv Speed Booster plugin. Yet its description reads, “Speed booster for Newspaper 7 and Newsmag 3 themes – It moves the styles and all the scripts of the theme to the bottom when needed. It activates internal theme optimizations for better speed and it adds async js. Version 4.9.1 | built on 06.02.2019 12:12 | By tagDiv | Visit plugin site.”
Since this is Version 9.5, this plugin is no longer required, right?
Hi,
In order to install the new mobile theme you need to go in wp-content/plugins/ and remove/delete the mobile theme from there, only after that you can install the new mobile theme;
Them mobile theme is made for improve the mobile speed -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
tagDiv Speed Booster plugin is a plugin that help you to improve your website speed, Indeed the text show say is that is for newspaper 7 but is also work with newspaper 9.5 -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Thank you!
Still, something is wrong.
I did exactly as you said: first off, I removed the mobile plugin from wp-content/plugins; then its installation (.zip file) was done successfully.
But I saw the error message after activating it (see below). Why?
“Fatal error: Cannot declare class Mobile_Detect, because the name is already in use in /home/240585.cloudwaysapps.com/nsfwdtrwgu/public_html/wp-content/plugins/td-mobile-plugin/Mobile_Detect.php on line 28”
Hi,
Please make sure that you do not have another mobile theme activate, or a plugin conflict, you will have to disable all other plugins and install the mobile theme first.
– https://www.screencast.com/t/AUBrojBH It appears because you use jetpack mobile theme. Since the theme has already a mobile version, it doesn’t work with jetpack module.
-> https://jetpack.com/support/mobile-theme/
If there is still a problem, you can send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login, as well as cPanel or FTP if possible. We will take a look. Include a link to this topic in the email.
Thanks
Today, I downloaded and installed Newspaper Version 9.6. Of course, I also tried to install and activate the mobile plugin. Again, it failed.
So, I deactivated all of the installed plugins. I then installed and activated the mobile plugin only. Guess what, it worked; yes, it was activated successfully that way.
But it wasn’t supposed to be that hard. Wouldn’t you think this software update method should be much easier?
Next, the author said, “The tagDiv Mobile Theme now works best with the AMP plugin to provide a complete solution for your content on mobiles. Yet the tagDiv AMP plugin has been discontinued.” So, I deleted the tagDiv AMP plugin. Is that right?
Furthermore, concerning plugins like Jetpack and iThemes Security, do you recommend I use them?
Thank you!
Hi,
If you want to disable the amp you can check this settings from here and use another amp plugin -> https://www.screencast.com/t/CRvuTCVj delete it from theme will also work.
The Jetpack plugin was tested with our theme, and if you configure it well it should work properly with our theme, unfortunately the iThemes Security was not tested with our theme so I can not say if will work or not, if you want to use it the best way will be to test it on localhost or on sub-domain.
Thank you!
I am receiving this error when I try to activate mobile them after the last newspaper update: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare td_on_global_after_mobile_panel() (previously declared in /home/scienda1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/td-mobile-plugin.BROKEN/td-mobile-plugin.php:59) in /home/scienda1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/td-mobile-plugin/td-mobile-plugin.php on line 74.
Based on the comments above, I reactivated the plugin after turning off all plugins first. Still, no luck. FYI, Jetpack mobile them is NOT activated.
Assuming you’re using the latest version (9.6). If so, you need to ensure that the mobile plugin be the latest one as well.
Next, you need to deactivate all of your installed plugins first. You then will install and activate the mobile plugin. It should work. It worked for me.
Soon, I hope tagDiv is going to streamline the software update method.
