 * Sorry to hear you are having trouble with the latest update! These are not actually
   error messages, they are PHP notifications for developers which should only be
   enabled on test and development sites. That said, every update of Connections
   is tested and best PHP practices employed to make sure not even notices are generated.
   Unfortunately due to the large variability in web hosts configs and WordPress
   installations it is still possible that a notice be generated that is not revealed
   in testing. I do apologize for this and the inconvenience this is causing you!
 * Here’s a link to a tutorial which explains how to have these developer notices
   suppressed on live production sites which is considered a best practice:
    - [https://connections-pro.com/faqs/hide-php-warnings-notices/](https://connections-pro.com/faqs/hide-php-warnings-notices/)
 * I will also be releasing an update later today that contains even more checks
   to prevent these specific notifications.
