Hello,
We are using the following TagDiv short code in the Classic Editor

[gallery td_select_gallery_slide="slide" size="large" link="file" ids="472210,472208,472206,472204,472202,472200,472197,472195,472193,472191,472189,472187"]

I have confirmed that when Yoast is disabled the gallery works as intended, but with it enabled, the fatal error persists. If I change the shortcode to standard WordPress gallery it works, so it specific to the td_select_gallery_slide=”slide” gallery.

I am not sure if this is a specific TagDiv issue that can be fixed or if this is a Yoast issue that I need to bring up with them.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Anamaria,

It looks like it may have just been a case of gremlins! I deactivated all plugins except for TD Composer and Cloud Library, and the 500 error disappeared. I then re-enabled each plugin one by one, testing along the way, and still no error—everything is working fine now.

Not entirely sure what that means, but since the issue isn’t occurring anymore, there’s not much I can debug at the moment. 😊 I’ll reach out again if the problem resurfaces.
