There has been a critical error on this website.
Hello!
First of all, please make sure you have a backup done and then you can update the theme (version 11) and the TagDiv plugins also.
Please take a look for this advice before updating: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/action-required-please-read-how-to-update-to-the-newspaper-theme-v-10/
I recommend you make a backup and update plugins and the theme via file transfer, so that you don’t face any error: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Let me know about your results!
Thank you!
Yea yea yea… surely canned message.
Of course I’m on latest version, just keep your dev team living in your “development environment“ ivory tower.
Hello!
I just tried to help you. I’m sure about what I said because our ” development environment ” knows when we do some modifications in order to help you get rid of errors.
Also, our theme has some requirements, some specific required settings, tested plugins(it is not working with all plugins). But, it is ok if our messages are canned, then you are not obliged to do what we recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
“I’m on the latest version.”
That’s all I got to said. Stack trace is there, fix it or not is not my problem, just share the error code.
#td_flex_block_4.php
Hello,
We tested the PHP version 8 and we did not encounter such an error, nor have other users reported it (for example, I have the version of PHP 8.0.7)
This issue also has been discussed here https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/29087
About the error from flex block 4, do you have set reviews for posts? Also, have you checked for a plugin conflict?
Also, please provide the link to your website.
Thank you!
