 * I believe with the addition of the push notifications, the plugin is now trying
   to write to a js folder – for security reasons our host does not allow the plugin
   folder to be writeable. This is a common scenario with managed WordPress hosting.
   We really need a hook so that we can adjust where that file is being written 
   to and loaded from. Typically the uploads folder is writable and many plugins
   we use default to creating a folder within uploads to write to when needed. If
   we can at least get a hook to control the path for it that would be helpful. 
   At this point we can’t update the plugin without having to edit it directly to
   resolve the issue.

 * Hi [@krissiev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krissiev/),
 * It seems that there are some permission issues with the folders/files. Due to
   security reasons, the host does not allow the plugin folder to be writeable, 
   and as a result, with the addition of push notifications, the plugin is trying
   to write to a js folder which is causing problems. This is a common scenario 
   with managed WordPress hosting. It would be really helpful if there could be 
   a hook to adjust the file path where it is being written to and loaded from. 
   Usually, the uploads folder is writable, and many plugins default to creating
   a folder within uploads to write to when needed.
   You might need to remove the
   restrictions through your folder.
 * Please let me know if I can help you on this matter.
 * Best Regards,
 * Alexis
