Not able to "Edit Page" after updating to WP 5.3

This issue seems to only be impacting one of our sites using Newspaper. If I try to click “Edit Page” (not Edit TagDiv Composer) I get a blank page. I tried this while inspecting the page in Console in Chrome and I see the following errors that seem to be related to TagDiv Composer. Any thoughts on what could be causing this – happy to provide login details. Here are the errors I’m seeing when I click on “Edit Page” in the console:

Same here 🙁

mine also…

And time is money..

I’m restoring my sites to previous version of WordPress until this is resolved. @tagDiv team can you please let us know if you are experiencing this same issue on your end after updating to WP 5.3?

Update: I have been fiddling with a staging copy of one of our sites that I upgraded to 5.3 and it appears that the issue is due to a conflict between the new Gutenberg editor in WordPress 5.3 and the tagDiv Composer.

I confirmed this by disabling tagDiv Composer and the issue with not being able to add / edit posts and pages went away. Needless to say that is not a solution, but I have some good news. Since the conflict is between the theme’s composer vs. gutenberg, I installed a plugin called “Disable Gutenberg” (https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-gutenberg/) and the problem was fixed.

For what it is worth, it should not be a surprise that this happened because running multiple visual composers will break a site.

Same problem. Also noticed it went away when I disabled tagDiv Composer (though this is no solution as my site looks horrible without the “Standard Pack” which is married to the composer), and I can edit by activating “Classic Editor.” But I’ve only used Gutenberg, and I want to continue doing so.

I have newspaper with lifestyle demo running. if i edit an old post and then publish it, i can not edit it again i get a blank page and a notification from wp that there was an error. if i load wp in recovery mode, li can edit it. just got the theme last week and is installed in my staging site.
another thing, on my desktop, no social button, on my tablet, i have social button on top menu and bottom of posts. why?

Thanks, getting rid of the other plugins got my error to go away. I still have an issue with the social icons on my android devices showing on the bottom of a post but not on my disktop (a MAC on chrome). Also on my android phone, i can’t get rid of the NewsXpaper logo from My header this is ok on my tablet.

Thanks,most of the problems are resolved, still don’t understand why my social network icons display in the android footer but not in my mac.
At the bottom of my post, share button is on the android but not on the mac. Using Chrome.
Also, on my footer, where does it get my email address? It only has my website.

it looks like the social network icons are not showing on my MAC. it shows on my windows pc. still chrome.
I still can’t see how to change the email on the footer. it just shows “thetasteoftea.com”

this is how it looks on my screen.
also, do you see on the subfooter of your picture, the word after Email: thetasteoftea.com. my email address is “teadocents@thetasteoftea.com” I can’t change that anywhere.

I tried both chrome and safari and got the same results. Using foxfire worked properly. Also found out that composer was not working in chrome. Now I see why some of the tutorials didn’t make sense.It must be something with my mac and some browsers. I’m going to use foxfire for wpadmin. Thanks

My last unresolved issue is in the footer.
Like I said before, where it says email: it just displays my domain “thetasteoftea.com”. Can I change the “email” to read “website” since I already have a mail icon in the line just above? Makes more sense.

sorry, i don’t see how. this is what my content box looks like.

Thank you. I didn’t see that.
