 * I have multiple php fatal errors with this plug in. I won’t post the log here,
   but willing to email it. Uninstalled for now.
 * Example of errors:
 * [11-Jul-2017 23:24:37 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘UnexpectedValueException’
   with message ‘RecursiveDirectoryIterator::__construct(/home/…/public_html/wp-
   content/plugins/email-users_) [[recursivedirectoryiterator.–construct](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-php-errors/recursivedirectoryiterator.--construct?output_format=md)]:

 * These errors aren’t from the Email Users plugin. Even the very first message 
   includes a path which looks like Email Users “…/plugins/email-users_” but isn’t.
   Note the trailing underscore on the the be of the path. That is not from the 
   plugin.
 * If you look at your WordPress install do you have a folder called “email-users”
   and another called “email-users_”?. If so, I would suspect you have a rogue plugin
   doing something it should not be doing.
 * The rest of the errors also indicate they are from something using WordPress 
   CRON which is not a feature used in Email Users.

 * Are you using Bullet Proof Security? I ask because I Googled “hidden-plugin-folders-
   cron.php” and it shows up in several discussion forums (like [this one](https://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/how-to-troubleshoot-php-errors-php-errors-in-your-php-error-log/page/11/#post-31985)).
   It looks it depends on some PHP library which may or may not be present.

 * These php errors could also be caused by open_basedir if you have not added all
   of the necessary paths to your open_basedir php.ini directive setting. Check 
   this BPS System Info page information for open_basedir on your server/website:
   PHP Server|PHP.ini Info > PHP open_basedir: Off/Not in use or paths pointing 
   to dir’s.
