 * Hi [@mizou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mizou/) [@xenixwebdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xenixwebdesign/)
 * Hope you are doing good.
 * The issue is fixed, you can test the Beta version on your staging websites first
   then update the plugin on your live websites.
 * Download the Beta 2.1.4 version from **[here](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/post-smtp.2.1.4-beta.1.zip)**.
 * Let me know if the issue is still there.
 * Thanks

 * This specific issue is caused by errors in the nl_NL translation file. I’ve edited
   this file. If you want, you can download it here: [https://file.io/zwia78Q02Dv6](https://file.io/zwia78Q02Dv6)
 * You should replace this file in this folder: /wp-content/plugins/post-smtp/freemius/

 * [@haseeb0001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/haseeb0001/) Sure! Seems the
   previous file upload expired too quickly. This one will expire in 30 days: [https://easyupload.io/zay5s6](https://easyupload.io/zay5s6)

 * So far so good. After installing there seem to be no issues/errors (on PHP 8.0).
