The most recommended update method is by FTP, please try to reinstall the theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Then please deactivate the tagDiv composer and install it again from here
– https://www.screencast.com/t/r2n8DZ94
The multi-purpose plugin is no longer required, it is included in the tagDiv composer.
That error is displayed when the page you are editing is not created with the tagDiv composer or in which you entered a custom code. Try the composer on a new page and see if the same error is displayed.
It could also be displayed when the super cache is installed and not configured as mentioned here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
Let us know the results.
Thanks Catalin,
This plugin is a special dev indeed. However I have tested with another plugin (GravityForm), the shortcodes won’t work in TD composer.
Any tip ?
Hello Berbi,
Unfortunately, please notice that our theme does not have any such an option for chatbot, sorry! most likely, you are using a plugin with this functionality in our theme and which seems does not work with our product, sorry! It’s an untested plugin and we cannot provide support for this. Try to find another plugin in this case because the Text with Title or RAW HRML element from TD Composer should render the shortcode if the plugin is compatible and it the shortcode works as expected.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
The multi-purpose plugin was indeed included in the 8.7.5 package, it should have not been so. We are aware of this oversight.
Please note that the multi-purpose plugin is not needed anymore and it will not be provided separately. All the multi-purpose elements and settings are now included in the tagDiv composer
– https://www.screencast.com/t/VkfdKMZLl
So as of version 8.7.5 the multi-purpose plugin is combined with the tagDiv composer plugin. You can and remove the multi-purpose plugin, all is needed now is the tagDiv composer. Sorry for the unintended confusion.
Thanks
When I click “Edit with TD Composer” at the top of my front-end home page, a new tab opens and just stays white with a circle spinning. How do I get my TD Composer to work?
Thanks!
Hi,
I’ve new to the newspaper theme, I’ve just started exploring with it. Can I simply not bother with visual composer and simply work on tagdiv composer?
Also, I’ve seen the video on tagdiv composer, the one where it took a few minutes to create a webpage… but I couldn’t figure how to get turn on tagdiv composer, how do I do this? The video simply start with the tagdiv composer turned on and ready to create.
I never installed the tagDiv Multipurpose plugin on my site and today I updated the theme and TagDiv composer plugin. I read from the logs that tagDiv Multipurpose and Composer plugin merged together. However, this recent upgrade caused to upload around 12 new images into WordPress media library and unable to delete. When I did FTP, the images are uploaded to tagDiv Multipurpose plugin image folder without write permission.
I assume these images are part of demo or something, and not supposed to upload without requesting that. If I delete the tagDiv Multipurpose plugin image folder via FTP, is this plugin going to stop working or generate an error? If yes, would you please clean this sample images in the next updates? Any fix I can do to remove images and make it clean?
I managed to activate the plugins but one is giving me an error but td-multi purpose, it gives me the following fatal error…
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare on_tdc_init_multipurpose() (previously declared in /home1/tiodesi1/public_html/ecv/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/td-multi-purpose/td-multi-purpose.php:15) in /home1/tiodesi1/public_html/ecv/wp-content/plugins/td-multi-purpose/td-multi-purpose.php on line 16
the plugin is in the correct place and the theme was replaced completely instead of patching it, what is happening?
After checking tthe code to find what is different between 2.1 and 2.1.2, the only difference is the version numbers, WHAT?! what changed?

I have three licenses for newspaper, in one is working fine, but, in the other installation after the update tagDiv Composer, tagDiv Social Counter, tagDiv AMP, and tagDiv Newsletter are disabled, but when i try to activate them back there is a brief warning about the activation and it disappears, i tried to reactivate them after disabling all other plugins but it gives me the same error. in the front page shows the following errors:
wp_booster error:

I re-uploaded the whole folder to no avail, what might be happening?
Hello,
On this page https://staging.emprunter-malin.com/calculez/ I have added the shortcode [add_Hypo], which is supposed to display a chatbot.
This is a TD composer page, so I have added a raw html in which I have placed the shortcode as you can see here : http://www.screencast.com/t/di7kIXIxkNa.
On html side, the shortcode appears like this: http://www.screencast.com/t/rFjqQpHqp4k.
However the chatbot doesn’t display, although it displays on non-TD composer pages.
Any tip to make a shortcode working with TD composer ?
Thanks.
I downloaded Visual Composer and bought the license. However, it does not enable the visual editor. The development of the plugin said that it was necessary to make some changes in the Newspaper theme.
What do I need to do?
You have a different Issue to mine When I updated the Home Page Broke. I deleted Tag diV Composer and reinstalled from Dashboard.
Sounds like you would need to go into your Cpanel and Turn off all Plugins so you can get back into Backend.
After the update, I had to delete, re-upload and activate all the plugins. Everything went smooth except for the tagDiv Multipurpose plugin. I wasn´t able to activate it, instead I´m getting the message:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare on_tdc_init_multipurpose() (previously declared in /home4/wagovq0aea4k/public_html/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/td-multi-purpose/td-multi-purpose.php:15) in /home4/wagovq0aea4k/public_html/wp-content/plugins/td-multi-purpose/td-multi-purpose.php on line 16
As far as I´m concerned this is the correct way of updating the plugins, please correct me if I´m wrong.
I get the exact same message. This happened just after the update earlier today.
have you figured it out yet? I have tried uninstalling the plugin and the uploading it again, but when I try to activate it this message shows up:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare on_tdc_init_multipurpose() (previously declared in /home4/wagovq0aea4k/public_html/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/td-multi-purpose/td-multi-purpose.php:15) in /home4/wagovq0aea4k/public_html/wp-content/plugins/td-multi-purpose/td-multi-purpose.php on line 16
I would prefer to use WPBakery Page Builder rather than TagDiv Composer, however I can’t find a way to register WPBakery Page Builder. Also I have lost how to change colours on block titles, can you please tell me how do I do it? Thanks.
I got it working. My sandbox was the issue and somehow disabled the td composer plugin.
Pmerlihan — Did the suggested fix of uninstall/install the new composer plugin solve your issue?
I’m having the same issue. I deleted the old td_composer and replaced with new as well as deleted the old multi-purpose plugin because it is incorpoated… ugh! I didn’t update the last 3 updates because everytime it is a huge hassle. I got rid of a bunch of plugins to avoid conflicts. This time I put my live site in a staging area so not totally urgent — but just more wasted time.
After updating theme. Uninstall old td composer plugin. And install updated td composer plugin. This will solve the issue.
Good afternoon! After I updated the tagDiv Composer plugin and turned it on, I have a server load and the site is down

on the main page constantly online 100-200 people
After doing the theme update, I have received this error any time I try to open a page with TD-Composer for the second time. It made a mess of my homepage and adjusted the entire layout, no longer with any multiple columns or sidebars.
Now I can’t access my homepage in the TD-Composer without it getting stuck and giving me the error. I can build a page from scratch without a problem. But if I save it, and try to re-enter to make changes, I receive the same error. “Errors happened during tdcIframeData.init() -> bindViewsModelsWrappers()!”
Even when I was trying to create a new homepage (without ever leaving TD-Composer), I could save and view the preview, but the preview acted like there were no columns or any content on the right side. I closed the composer and tried to relaunch it. While the WP preview shows the columns and all correctly, I can no longer edit the page as I get the previously mentioned error.

cwamerica. Reason: Adding additional detail
I have a client who likes the newspaper theme we used on another site. They want to see it in action with their content. but I am not sure its the right layout for them as they are a woocommerce site. I have cloned the site#1 and have deployed it onto their host. How long do I have until I need to activate? I am not sure they want to keep it and would like for them to just demo it until they decide.
additionally, Tagdiv should have a demo for woocommerce, I know these are primarily news based layouts but the Tagdiv composer makes it so easy to create a page. In my opinion a woocommerce enable theme would be very usefull. Maybe add some blocks or grids that are woo product compatable.
thanks.
@lucaapellegrini If there are shortcodes in the pages, then the composer is either not updated or active. Try again, deactivate the composer plugin and install it from the theme plugins panel
– https://www.screencast.com/t/vv2dlQ30mAZ
In case the problem is not solved, send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login and also FTP access. We will take a look.
I just tried to delete the composer and reinstall it from the version in the recent theme update. I didn’t update anything other than the composer and it crashed my site again with this code:

Hey,
After installing the 8.7.5 update and upgrading to WP version 4.9.6, the Multi-purpose plugin was switched off, and when I try to switch it back on, I get a fatal error with the following text:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare on_tdc_init_multipurpose() (previously declared in /var/userdata/web/elsoleutes.hu/website/www/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/td-multi-purpose/td-multi-purpose.php:15) in /var/userdata/web/elsoleutes.hu/website/www/wp-content/plugins/td-multi-purpose/td-multi-purpose.php on line 16
I have tried to update both Multi-purpose and Composer plugins manually, but it did not help.
What could have gone wrong here?
