    As many people know, version 1.82 brought a plethora of websites down, especially those running automatic plugin updates. My main issue is that the error that caused it was extremely simple to catch, and shouldn’t have made it to version 1.82, the release notes for the following version are disingenuous and are trying to minimize the effects that V1.82 had. V1.82 did not have a “small bug with plugin activation”, it straight up caused websites to crash, by loading a plugin with an included file that wasn’t existing in the plugin codebase. This error should be better explained in the release note, for people to understand that rolling back to V1.82 for any reason would break their website.

    This is a plugin that according to WordPress, has 100.000+ installs, the develpers should be more transparent, stop lying and take responsibility for their issue.

    V1.83 – 13.07.2025
    Bugfix : Fixed small bug with plugin activation.

    Thank you for your feedback. We fully understand your frustration regarding version 1.82.

    Unfortunately, that release did include a critical issue — the plugin attempted to load a missing file, which caused fatal errors on some websites. We quickly released version 1.83 to fix this problem.

    While we did mention the issue in the release notes, we acknowledge that the description could have been clearer. Indeed, reverting to version 1.82 will trigger the same error, and we strongly advise against using it.

    Please know that we did everything possible to resolve the issue quickly and are taking steps to prevent similar problems in the future. We appreciate your understanding.
