Fatal Error: Broken Pro-check logic

Hello,

I came across a Fatal Error while using the free version of the plugin and wanted to share my observations.

I noticed this in
gs-testimonial/templates/gs-grid-template-03.php (around line 135).

At the moment, the conditional check for premium functionality is commented out, while the Pro template file is still being included. Since this Pro file does not exist in the free version, this results in a Fatal Error and causes the site to crash.

Current code:

// if ( gstm_fs()->can_use_premium_code__premium_only() ) {
include Template_Loader::locate_template( 'pro/partials/gs-layout-popup.php' );
// }

To stop the crash on my end, I temporarily commented out the include line. However, this is only a workaround .

It may be better to either:

• Re-enable the premium check condition, or
• Add a file existence check before including the Pro template.

This should help prevent Fatal Errors for users running the free version.

Please let me know if I’m missing something here, and kindly consider addressing this in a future update.
