Meon, Found the fix.

1. Go the the File manager.
2. Look to the top right Cog “settings” Select
3. Check the box “Show hidden files” then Save.
4. Go to the file path public_html > wp-admin
Look to the top Left and select + File
5. Create PHP.INI file
Insert the following:

safe mode = Off (cannot adjust)
memory_limit = 256M (MAXIMUM)
max_execution_time = 30 (MAXIMUM in seconds)
max_input_time = 60 (MAXIMUM in seconds)
post_max_size = 64M (MAXIMUM)
upload_max_filesize = 64M (MAXIMUM)
enable_dl = Off (cannot adjust)

Save

Make sure to also update your Php to 5.6.

Hope this helps.
Chris

I’d wait until Calin responds. Newspaper 9 has newer features and templates. Hey should get back to us soon.

Yes that is correct. I agree with Meon. It’s after activation you get the error and wordpress breaks. Only If you uninstall it using FTP File manager, wordpress go back to normal and the theme works without the theme composer plugin activated.

No, I’ve unzipped the whole package and the theme installs. It’s the (td-composer) plugin install that fails.
I’ve attempted to install the this plugin two ways;
1. Install from the Newspaper dashboard under the plugin tab.
2. FTP the zipped (td-composer) to the plugin folder and attempted to activate and still gets the tdc_util.php on line 592 error.

Same Here. Did something break with this latest update? It worked for in all other pervious versions. tdc_util.php on line 592 is the same error I received.
