 * Can you please confirm again that this is the version in use for your site? We
   have had customers whose host has said that they are using one version, when 
   in reality it was an older one.
 * This error presents itself if you’re using an older version, so if that’s not
   the case we’ll need an overview of your current setup to understand the situation
   better.
 * Thank you for your patience.
