 * Hello, we’ve recently come up with an error on this plug-in, after updating to
   version 14.1.2. Now we cannot activate the plug-in anymore.
 * This is the error we get when trying to activate:

 * Hello [@marjons](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marjons/) ,
 * Thank you for reaching out to us. I hope this email finds you well.
 * After conducting some tests, I didn’t encounter any issues in an environment 
   similar to the one you described. As a preliminary solution, I recommend removing
   the plugin from your dashboard and attempting to install it manually. To do this,
   download the compressed file first, then upload it to your WordPress dashboard
   and proceed with the installation.
 * This approach may help resolve the issue. If it doesn’t, please don’t hesitate
   to contact me again, and I’ll be glad to explore alternative solutions for you.
 * I look forward to hearing from you.
 * Best regards
