Changing theme from NewsMag 5.21 to NewsPaper 12 breaks the wordpress

Hi there,

We have been using the NewsMag 5.21 Theme for the last 3 years with no issues. However, we have just bought the Newspaper 12 Theme today and after installing, every time we activate the theme it breaks the WordPress with “There has been a critical error on your website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.” error. So we rename the Newspaper Theme to be bale to get back to WP Admin area with the old NewsMag5.21 theme.

Here’s the error.log entries:

I suspect having the same plugings from the same developer might be causing a theme/plugin conflict issue and might try to deactivate or delete some of the same plugings, but would want to see hear your suggestions as soon as possible.

Regards,

Om

Update:

My initial suspicion was correct, since both themes using the same plugins with different settings that created the conflict and crashed the WP engine.

I have renamed the td-composer and other td-plugings and the NewsPaper12 asked to install those new plugins and License and all is working now. We still need to change the logos and some colours but all is good.
