8.7 Upgrade is a freaking nightmare.

Completely wiped out all of the social counters. Videolists don’t work. I am simply stunned at how this has completely blown away a site.

what’s weird is that it doesn’t seem like it’s able to connect our static page homepage with 8.7 no matter what tweaks you try. with this many issues, they’ve gotta be working on a solution as it’s pretty common now with this update.

I am punting. This was a horrible experience. First I noticed none of the video lists worked. Then it had stripped out my social counters. Then the Footers stop displaying. I am punting going back to 8.5. This is a day i will never get back.

I tried reverting back to 8.6 but that didn’t fix the problem so having our hosting service revert back to yesterday. Such fun since we’re a live news site!

Tried migrating back to 8.6. Site completely down now. had backed up the 8.7 and put in back in place.

Video list do not work
Footers blown out. Completely gone. No Category listings. No Editor Picks. No Copy right notice. No Company logo. It is all completely gone but still shows up in theme manager.

Social Counters were gone but I got them back by recycling Composer.

This is a horrible fiasco!

Hello MOKANA,

Do you have made a full backup to your database? I recommend you to do this and make a new fresh install to another sub-domain for testing with FTP method because this is the surest method in this case. The theme has been fully tested and should work as expected. Notice that if you will use some untested plugins all of these might interact with the theme core files and causes a lot of unknown issues. If the problem is still there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login information (wp-admin) so we can further inspect it closer your setup page together with these elements that you do not work. Make sure that you have right backed up your website and all of your information are there. Provide there the link to this topic so we can quickly identify you.

Thanks for the message!
