 * i have to say that it solves the problem of fatal error doing the trick from 
   [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getmypid-has-been-disabled-for-security-reasons/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getmypid-has-been-disabled-for-security-reasons/)
 * I temporarily fixed the problem by changing line 52 of the GiudProvider.php file
   from `return uniqid(getmypid() . '_', true);` to `return uniqid(mt_rand() . '_',
   true);` but I don’t know if it’s the correct solution.
