    Is there any reason for you to keep such an outdated version? Why don’t you update the plugin? The current version is 5.8.4.

    Most definitely not. Any time WP says something needs updating, I make a backup and do the updates. It’s not indicating that it needs updating, so I had no idea it was outdated. I’ll keep digging, maybe the update notice is dependent on a version of PHP or my theme. Thanks for the reply.
