Hello,
I have a critical issue on my news site: I cannot publish new articles. When accessing the editor (Add New Post), the page stays blank.
Technical details:
WordPress: version 7.0 (latest)
Theme: Newspaper, version 12.7.6 (latest)
tagDiv Composer: latest version available
All plugins are up to date
Console error (DevTools):
edit-post.min.js?ver=28ef50b859708963e197:1 Uncaught TypeError: (0 , yt.registerLegacyWidgetBlock) is not a function
at Object.pn (edit-post.min.js?ver=28ef50b859708963e197:1:49057)
at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (wp-edit-post-js-after:5:25)
There are also deprecation warnings related to your blocks:
Block with API version 2 or lower is deprecated since version 6.9.
Note: The block “tds/partiallocker” is registered with API version 1.
Note: The block “tds/contentlocker” is registered with API version 1.
Plus a 404 error when loading load-scripts.php.
Likely cause: the registerLegacyWidgetBlock function from the @wordpress/widgets package was removed in WP 7.0, while a script injected by your theme/Composer (wp-edit-post-js-after) is still calling it, which completely breaks the Gutenberg editor from loading.
What I’ve tried:
Temporarily deactivating other plugins (issue persists, so it’s isolated to Newspaper/tagDiv Composer)
Clearing cache (LiteSpeed Cache, full purge)
Confirmed all components are on the latest version
Please confirm if this is a known compatibility issue with WP 7.0, and let me know your estimated timeline for a fix/patch. In the meantime I’m using Classic Editor as a workaround, but I need Gutenberg working again as soon as possible since the site is active and requires frequent article publishing.
Thank you
Hi,
I can’t confirm it, this is not a known issue. Using Gutenberg works correctly on our side, and I don’t recall seeing similar reports from our users. Does it work correctly if you try using a different theme as a test?
In case it’s happening only when Newspaper is active, then it’s very strange. I will take a look at it, you can send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a link to the website and admin login, I will start investigating as soon as possible.
Thank you!
