After updating our website from the previous WordPress version to WordPress 7.0.1, we encountered several critical issues with the Newspaper theme.
Environment
Theme: Newspaper
WordPress: 7.0.1
PHP: (please fill in your PHP version)
Website: https://suckhoemoi.com
Issues
Frontend displays raw shortcode/JSON instead of rendering the page properly.
Pages show raw tagDiv content instead of the designed layout.
Gutenberg editor reports:
“This block has encountered an error and cannot be previewed.”
Eventually, the entire WordPress admin became inaccessible with a “There has been a critical error on this website” message.
Troubleshooting
We investigated the issue and found that the problem is caused by td-composer.
Renaming the td-composer plugin folder immediately restored access to the WordPress admin.
After disabling td-composer, the critical error disappeared.
This strongly suggests that the current version of td-composer is not compatible with WordPress 7.0.1.
Expected behavior
The Newspaper theme and td-composer should work correctly with WordPress 7.0.1 without causing:
Critical PHP errors
Gutenberg block errors
Frontend rendering issues
Could you please confirm:
Is WordPress 7.0.1 officially supported?
Is there an updated version of td-composer compatible with WordPress 7.0.1?
If not, when will a compatible update be released?
Thank you for your support.
Best regards.
Hi,
The new wordpress update is a maintenance update, it contains bug fixes exclusively -> https://wordpress.org/news/2026/07/wordpress-7-0-1-maintenance-release/ There’s no major change that would cause our theme or plugins to create problems. We updated as well and everything looks fine so far -> https://prnt.sc/HsRSL5zcamiH
I believe you are using wordpress 6.7.5 now -> https://prnt.sc/qkLmmAxiLrsr So you used wordpress 7 before and it worked fine, then you updated to 7.0.1 and there were problems, and then you installed 6.7.5? Or you updated from 6.7.5 to 7.0.1? Either way however, the theme should not create any problems.
If you want I can take a look at it. Do you maybe have a testing/staging clone of the main website, where wordpress can be updated and the issue can be investigated? If you have a staging or you can create one, then it’s better to test there instead of the main website which works fine at this time. If this is possible, please send the link to the staging and the login user/pass and contact@tagdiv.com Also please include access to cPanel or FTP.
Thank you!
All tagdiv products working for us here with php 8.3x and WP 7.01. We are also using the PHP 7.3x TUXCARE for couple of things to avoid security issues for EOL code.
