 * Hi, I just did an update yesterday to your most recent version and it broke my
   site. I had to deactivate it. I have the latest version of wordpress and am running
   divi builder. Just letting you guys know and also I do need your plugin operational
   again. Please let me know if you need to have a look into my system.
 * Kind regards,
 * Ray

 * Hi Ray,
 * The message here is coming from one of your snippets, not from the plugin itself.
   It looks like you’re using the backtick ` character in your snippet form some
   reason.

 * How do you remove a snippet once it causes a Critical Error?

 * Nevermind. I put in into safe mode via wp-config.php and deleted the faulty snippet.
