 * Error: There has been a critical error on this website.
 * I turned on debugging and here are the details of the log – by reading this, 
   is there anything I can do to fix the issue to continue on?

 * Hi [@josephorr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josephorr/) —
 * I apologize for the delay—I somehow missed this issue coming in.
 * I’ve reviewed the code and I’m perplexed as to how this could occur. Is it possible
   that you have modified the plugin code in some way? I would recommend fully removing
   the plugin’s files and reinstalling from WordPress.org and seeing if the issue
   is reproducible. I haven’t heard of others experiencing the same issue, so my
   guess is that it’s related to something on your environment (files or PHP version,
   perhaps).
