 * I am trying to get this plugin to activate on a page in 5.2.3 but I add it using
   the shortcode block in Gutenberg but then the page just doesn’t save and the 
   preview doesn’t load. After a while there is an error “page update failed”. Previously
   I had the plugin in a widget on my home screen but want to move it.
