 * Hi! The plugin is throwing a fatal error since this morning:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       PHP Fatal error:  require_once(): Failed opening required '/<redacted>/wp-content/plugins/gutenslider/freemius/includes/fs-html-escaping-functions.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /<redacted>/wp-content/plugins/gutenslider/freemius/require.php on line 16
       ```
   
 * Looking at the source code, that file doesn’t seem to exist, and it seems that
   the latest version is actually bugged.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffatal-error-on-missing-dependency%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Turns out I was not using the latest tag. Tag 4.5.0 is the bugged one, which 
   I was on, but it lists the version as being 5.10.2, so not sure what happened
   there.

 * [@filipslottner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filipslottner/) is the error
   resolved on your side? We checked our testing systems and things are running 
   good there. If there is still an error, please send the page you need help with
   alongside the version of WordPress, Gutenslider and php you are using.

 * The problem still exists on tag 4.5.0, did you test that one? However, there 
   are no issues with the latest version like I first thought. I can’t share a link
   because the website is private, but I tried the latest version of WordPress (
   6.2.2) and version 5.8.7. PHP v 7.4.30.

 * [@filipslottner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/filipslottner/) in that 
   case I close this thread because 4.5.0 is outdated and not meant to be used with
   WordPress 6.2.2

 * Go ahead. Also, 4.5.0 doesn’t even exist in the list of tags, so I think something
   weird is going on, but everything should be solved by updating.
