Dear TagDiv Support,

I am writing to report several critical issues affecting the Newspaper theme and its bundled plugin td-cloud-library, which are causing instability and performance problems on my website (europeantimes.news).

After thorough debugging, I’ve identified key areas that require immediate attention from your development team.

🔧 1. Translation Loading Triggered Too Early
Error Message:

“Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the ‘td-cloud-library’ domain was triggered too early.”

Location:
tdb_config::on_tdc_loaded() in /wp-content/plugins/td-cloud-library/includes/tdb_config.php

Issue:
The theme loads translation strings before WordPress is fully initialized. According to WordPress Codex , translations should be loaded at the init action or later.

Currently, this causes repeated “doing it wrong” notices and impacts system stability under high load.

Request:
Please ensure all text domains are loaded properly via the init hook:

php

1
2
3
add_action(‘init’, function() {
load_plugin_textdomain(‘td-cloud-library’, false, dirname(plugin_basename(__FILE__)) . ‘/languages’);
});
🔧 2. Deprecated Constructor in Mobile_Detect Class
File:
/wp-content/plugins/td-cloud-library/includes/Mobile_Detect.php

Issue:
The constructor uses outdated syntax that triggers deprecation warnings in modern PHP environments.

This affects compatibility and indicates code maintenance is needed.

Request:
Update the constructor to follow current PHP standards:

php

1
function __construct(?string $userAgent = null, ?array $httpHeaders = null)
🔧 3. Excessive Database Queries Due to Empty Email Lookups
Observed Behavior:
Repeated queries like:

sql

1
SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_email = ‘d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e’
(This is the MD5 hash of an empty string.)

Cause:
Avatar functions call get_user_by(’email’) without validating that the email exists.

Impact:
Unnecessary database load, especially under automation or bot traffic.

Request:
Add validation before querying:

php

1
2
3
if ( ! empty($email) && is_email($email) ) {
$user = get_user_by(’email’, $email);
}
🔧 4. Aggressive Hook Execution Before Initialization
In tdb_config.php, translatable strings are used inside on_tdc_loaded(), which fires before init. This forces premature loading of language files and violates WordPress best practices.

Example Line:
tdb_config::on_tdc_loaded() → calls __() too early

Recommended Fix:
Defer any logic involving translation functions until after the init action.

✅ Environment Summary

Acknowledge these issues
Confirm if fixes are planned in an upcoming release
Provide guidance on running the theme reliably at scale
These are not minor notices — they directly impact performance, scalability, and long-term compatibility with WordPress core.

Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

Hey Calin

Thanks for your recommendation. I have experimented with getting rid of the mobile theme and working without it, but that has been changing the thumbnail of my stores to have a large blue box over the text. Any recommendations on how to get rid of this?

Hi Calin,

Thanks for the suggestions.

We attempted to deactivate the tagDiv Mobile Theme plugin and avoided using any custom mobile pages created with tagDiv Composer, instead relying solely on the responsive desktop version. However, we’re facing a few issues:

• Images are not loading. it is giving me structure like this:
  <span class="entry-thumb td-thumb-css amp-wp-73151a4" data-amp-original-style="background-image: url('https://preprod.eurasiantimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/f-35-usa.jpg?w=696&h=0&crop=1')"></span>
• A pop-up (Live CSS) keeps appearing on the screen and doesn’t close for some reason.

For your reference, please check the screenshot below:

Thanx, I managed to fix it, the reversal of columns did the trick. I am using RTL website, my menu is ok in desktop mode, but in mobile mode it makes first from right at the bottom, I tried t make a mobile menu, but if I use it in composer, it affects all views. I thought changes in a viewport will affect only that view, it does not. please help.

Hello Bettina,

I hope you are doing well.

I found the following code snippet within the theme files, which appears to define the responsive breakpoints:

CSS

/*
* responsive settings
*/

/* responsive landscape tablet */
@responsive_l_tablet_max: 1140px;
@responsive_l_tablet_min: 1019px;

/* responsive portrait tablet */
@responsive_p_tablet_max: 1018px;
@responsive_p_tablet_min: 768px;

/* responsive portrait phone */
@responsive_p_phone_max: 767px;
My question is about the mobile breakpoint, currently defined as $responsive_p_phone_max: 767px.

The theme’s default mobile layout works well on smaller screens (320px – 500px), but I feel the range up to 767px is too large and causes design issues on larger phones or in landscape mode. At 750px, for example, the layout looks stretched in mobile mode before transitioning to the tablet layout at 768px.

Question:

Considering that this code appears to be SASS/LESS and not pure CSS, what is the correct procedure to implement a change to this value?

Is there a functions.php filter or function in the child theme that would allow me to change the $responsive_p_phone_max value to something like 575px, or is it necessary to modify and recompile the SASS/LESS files?

Please Note:

I fully understand that any such modification is at my own risk and is not covered by support. I am aware of the potential impact.

I am using only the standard and mobile layouts integrated into the theme, and not the separate tagDiv Mobile Theme plugin.

I appreciate any guidance you can provide on the safest way to make this change.
