 * Hi there,
    I’ve just installed this plugin on two sites – my main site and my
   staging site. I want to back up both of them to my Dropbox account.
 * First I created a new app in Dropbox, and I entered the Dropbox App key and secret
   into the API Keys settings on my staging server. Then I configured a backup job
   there, so it would use Dropbox. I authenticated Dropbox using the “Full Access
   to Dropbox” field (click the button “Get Dropbox App auth code”).
 * This worked perfectly, and afterwards I was able to successfully back up my database
   and files to Dropbox from the staging server.
 * Then I repeated the same steps on my main site. I used the same Dropbox App key
   and secret, so it should use the same app in Dropbox.
 * However, when I edited the backup job, and tried to authenticate Dropbox (clicking
   the “Get Dropbox App auth code” button), and I pasted in the new auth code into
   the field for Full Access, I got an error message after I clicked Save:
 *     ```
       <strong>TypeError thrown</strong>
       Argument 1 passed to GuzzleHttp\Client::send() must be an instance of GuzzleHttp\Message\RequestInterface, instance of GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request given, called in /wp-content/plugins/backup-wd/vendor/aannnaa7/dropbox-php-sdk-with-cacert/src/Dropbox/Http/Clients/DropboxGuzzleHttpClient.php on line 57
       ```
   
 * I’ve tried several times but I always get this error. Do you know what it means?

 * Hi,
 * We are sorry for the inconvenience you have faced.
 * This can be because of a conflict with other plugin. Please, try to deactivate
   all the plugins and activate one by one to see which one arises a conflict on
   your website.
 * Thank you and have a nice day!
