Fatal Error: Call to Undefined Function is_plan_allowed_category()

Hi guys!

I’m getting a fatal error on my site when using Directorist. Here’s the error message:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function Directorist\is_plan_allowed_category() in /wp-content/plugins/directorist/includes/model/ListingForm.php on line 407

It happens when I try to access the add listing form. I noticed the function is_plan_allowed_category() is being called, but it doesn’t seem to exist anymore, or is not loaded. I checked my plugins and I’m not using the Fee Manager or any paid plan add-ons.

Can you please clarify:

• Is this function only available when the Fee Manager add-on is active?
• Should the core plugin check if the function exists before calling it?
• What is the recommended way to fix this error without breaking listing category functionality?

Temporary workaround:
I created a dummy function in my theme functions.php to prevent the fatal error, but I’d prefer an official solution:

if ( ! function_exists( 'is_plan_allowed_category' ) ) { function is_plan_allowed_category( $fm_plan ) { return array(); } }

Any guidance would be appreciated!
Thank you!
