 * I get no such error when I install the latest Toolset Types 2.2.23 from this 
   link:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/types/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/types/)
 * Can you try again to download it?
    If this issue persist, I will need the steps
   to replicate it.
 * 1. What other plugins do I need to replicate this?
    2. With what theme does it
   happen? 3. Others
 * Thanks!

 * Strange.
 * I think this is due to the Custom Theme – probably it does not declare a proper
   theme name or Similar.
    There where similar issues in past, where if the theme(
   or a plugin) missed to pass a default information it failed with a similar error.
 * That problem however is not in Types, it would be fixed in the theme or plugin
   passing the wring name (and we added checks to avoid the failure just in case)
 * So this should not happen – and I cannot replicate this, as with custom themes
   it’s complex, they are all different.
 * Can you replicate this on a clean install?
    What of those plugins or theme makes
   the issue happen?

 * It based on Underscores base theme. For now it’s work fine with archives version
   of your plugin from 2016 year.

 * I will need some more details here.
 * I cannot replicate an issue based on a possible conflict with a custom theme.

 * When we can narrow down what part is creating the issue, we may even be able 
   to narrow down the exact feature that provokes it, later.
 * Thanks.

 * I just tried installing on a clean install and had the same issue. The solution
   was to install php-xml before activating plugin.

 * I understand, then this was a server issue.
 * I think that is enabled by default usually?
    Please as well have a look here 
   for other required modules and libraries: [https://toolset.com/toolset-requirements/](https://toolset.com/toolset-requirements/)

 * I came across this problem as well, it was a server configuration issue.
 * To correct, my server manager installed PHP-xml. PHP-xml needs to be configured
   to the same php version your site is running on, the exact same version. When
   we first installed it it was running on PHP 7.0, but the site was on 7.1.
 * Now it seems to be running well, hope this helps someone!

 * Sounds like spam
 * Please be more precise and open your own thread [@odimexy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/odimexy/)
   if you want my help.
 * Thanks
