Hello gdg161987,

Check the requirements list from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ and also, notice that we recommend maximum PHP 7.2 version for better results.

Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!

Thanks for the message!

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I already checked the requirements and i did all the necessary adjustments to met the requirements. Also when i look at the System Status everything is OK. Also i did the following:

1. Deactivated all the plugins and the theme.
2. Then i changed the PHP version
3. Website is functioning correctly, no error 500
4. Activated all plugins
5. Website is functioning correctly, no error 500
6. Activated Newspaper theme
7. Website is down, error 500 again.

I already figured it out. I enabled the debug mode of WordPress and the problem was in the functions.php of the child theme. There was some strange code in there. The code doesn’t even exist in your functions.php of the child theme. After i removed the code, everything was functioning fine.
