 * Following this morning’s update:
 * Having seen that my website was getting critical errors, and finding that a few
   of my plugins had stopped working, I decided to upload the troubleshooting plugin
   again.
 * It seems that any critical errors all disappear if ‘Easy Table of Contents’ is
   disabled whilst troubleshooting, and all of the aforementioned plugins work nicely
   again.
 * Enabling ETOC whilst troubleshooting causes all of the critical errors and non-
   working plugins to appear again.
 * Can we have a fix, please?

 * As an addendum to this issue, I uploaded the ‘Rollback’ plugin.
 * Noticing that there were updates to ETOC most days this week, I did a rollback
   of ETOC back to version 2.0.16 and it now works fine.
 * Fix still needed though!

 * Not really, no.
 * I’ve just got my website working fine again after an hour of nagging other developers,
   when all along it was ETOC’s fault.
 * However if you really did want to see the error, add a copy of Link Whisper Pro
   to any website containing ETOC and check the results.

 * I have installed the free version of Link Whisper – [https://wordpress.org/plugins/link-whisper/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/link-whisper/)
   but I am not able to recreate the same issue as it is working fine please check
   this screenshot – [https://prnt.sc/Y-GGSi2KSwOv](https://prnt.sc/Y-GGSi2KSwOv)
 * But when I try to add the Link Whisper Pro then it is showing the license key
   error – [https://prnt.sc/BxHKiJcubfvo](https://prnt.sc/BxHKiJcubfvo) and due 
   to that, I am not able to check it with the Link Whisper Pro.
 * As we are not able to recreate the issue we need your help and for that will 
   you please show me the error once by taking the error screenshot in just a minute
   or two so that we can check it once also will you please check the debug file
   once and if there is an error showing in debug log then please share it with 
   us so that we can fix it immediately

 * It won’t show errors with the free version of link whisper, as the pro version
   is the one that gets the link results.
 * Hang on a minute, I’ll see what I can do…

 * Ok, so here’s Link Whisper Pro’s dashboard prior to installing the latest version
   of ETOC
    [Earlier version of ETOC](https://imgur.com/a/LbLGiPc)
 * …and here’s the Link Whisper Pro dashboard AFTER the latest version of ETOC had
   been re-installed:

 * Note how all of the links have vanished in the second image, and Link Whisper
   Pro thew up a critical error, but the error appeared in an ajaxified window and
   couldn’t be captured.
 * Back now to version 2.0.16 and waiting on a fix.

 * Due to my incredible shredding on a computer keyboard, I managed to grab the 
   Link Whisper error message:

 * You can’t really tell much from the image, but at least it proves that the error
   is there I suppose.
