 * I’m a big user of the Author Pro plugin. Recently, I’ve been seeing a “Fatal 
   Error in my logs attributed to this plugin. Here is the code I’m seeing:
 * `10-May-2021 14:50:15 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Failed opening required'/
   var/web/site/public_html/wp-content/plugins/genesis-author-pro/classes/class.
   Genesis_Author_Pro_CPT.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /var/web/site/
   public_html/wp-content/plugins/genesis-author-pro/plugin.php:55`
 * Any help or insights appreciated.
 * Thanks,
    Rob Mc

 * Hi Rob,
 * Thank you for reaching out.
 * Could you try downloading a fresh copy of the plugin and replacing to see if 
   that helps?
 * Kind regards

 * I have the most recent version.
 * It looks like the trouble really started when I moved my server to PHP 8.0, have
   since moved it back down to 7.4 and things look to be a little better.
 * I’ll keep an eye on it, but the StudioPress team should be aware. It’s been a
   while since this plugin was updated, would be good to get a little modernization
   and review from the developers.
