 * Hi there,
 * I am encoutering some problems in our plugin, upon trying to update the plugin
   in our wordpress website, we received an error and that error made our website
   not working, so we need to deactivate our Mailchimp plugin.
 * So here is the error we got:
 * PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Failed opening required ‘/home/xxxx/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/includes/forms/functions.php’ (include_path
   =’.:/opt/remi/php82/root/usr/share/pear:/opt/remi/php82/root/usr/share/php:/usr/
   share/pear:/usr/share/php’) in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-

 * Can you try to delete the plugin and then install it again from the WordPress
   repository, does that solve the issue?
   Thanks for letting us know!
