Thank you! My apologies for the duplicate. I did look for a duplicate beforehand, but apparently didn’t pick the right search keywords to find it…

Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: 6.0.2 Causing Google Crawl Error for admin.ajax.phpSame issue here…
I uncommented the define, and the problem seems to have gone away. We did update WordPress to 5.7.2 yesterday. Perhaps that solved it.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] cf7 5.4 recaptchaIt was indeed caused by my theme. The author finally came up with a fix yesterday.
Thanks very much! I just updated the review to four stars and added a quick summary to the initial post.
That type of warning sounds like a great idea. I think that would have avoided this pitfall for me. I’d definitely revise my review if you’re willing to implement that.
I’m no expert on the subject, so getting terminology confused is quite likely. I probably thought that the “Global Site Tag” and “Tag Manager” features were related or the same thing when I set it up months ago. Ironically, my analytics data since then seems to support that they are somehow related. I entered a “GTM-…” ID into the plugin setting which I’m now guessing was expecting a “Gtag”, and now I have 6 months worth of ONLY the single click event I set up in Tag Manager (no page views). Due to strict accounting for grant funding I am limited in the amount of time I am allowed to spend working on or even discussing this or I would try to provide more details. If you can make some sort of effort to prevent the same problem from happening to other novices in the future, then I will revise my review.
We have an administrator user (different from the apache user) that has access to update WordPress & plugin code via the command line. This process works out of the box for all plugins we use except this one (it’s the only one that writes to a folder outside of wp-content). Unfortunately the team that performs the updates has a fairly strict process. I will relay your feedback to them, which will hopefully encourage them to customize their updates process and add a step specifically to reset the storage permissions for this plugin after every update.
How would you feel about modifying the plugin as described in the original post? I’m just trying to think of a permanent solution that would prevent manual changes after every update, and prevent this from happening to anyone else going forward.
