 * Hi [@hcabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/)
 * Thank you for your reply.
    As you pointed out, The WPP script had two ID attributes.
 * But, there are no active plugins other than WPP..?

   <script id='wpp-js-js-before' type="application/json" id="wpp-json">`

 * Something is adding that attribute to WPP’s script though. If it’s not a plugin(
   since WPP is the only one that’s active on your site, right?) then maybe it’s
   coming from your theme or from a MU plugin installed by your hosting?

 * Hi [@lqd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lqd/),
 * Please update to version 5.2.3. The issue is being caused by WordPress 5.5 itself,
   I just updated the plugin to fix it.

 * Hi [@hcabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/)
 * It was solved by updating the plugin!
    Thanks a lot.
