At plugin 3.7 version, it’s working fine but if I update to 4.0 or 4.0+ version, the plugin gives me this error:

The “plugin-coauthors-document-setting” plugin has encountered an error and cannot be rendered.

The error message “The ‘plugin-coauthors-document-setting’ plugin has encountered an error and cannot be rendered”is Gutenberg’s standard error boundary message when a registerPlugin panel throws during render. So this is our React component (src/components/co-authors/index.jsx, registered via src/index.js) crashing on mount.

@alithewpdev Please can you share your WP version, the full console error with stack trace, the active plugins, and whether your site has a CDN and/or object cache?

Thanks @alithewpdev, the stack traces have made the cause clear. This is a stale-JS issue on the Kinsta side, not a code defect in 4.0.x.

The first error, Uncaught TypeError: $co.attr(…).appendTo(…).suggest is not a function at co-authors-plus.js:174, is the legacy admin script trying to call .suggest(). We removed that call in 4.0.0 (commit 6d1cf8b, where we replaced the deprecated WordPress suggest library with jQuery UI autocomplete). The function name in your stack trace, coauthors_create_autosuggest, was also renamed to coauthors_create_autocompletein the same 4.0.0 change. So the JavaScript file your browser is executing is from a pre-4.0.0 version of Co-Authors Plus, even though your installed plugin is 4.0.x.

The second React error, Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'PluginDocumentSettingPanel')at index.js, is consistent with the same problem: the bundled editor script being served is also from an older build that doesn’t have the fallback for the PluginDocumentSettingPanel API move (it shifted from wp.editPost to wp.editor in WP 6.6).

Kinsta’s CDN, like Cloudflare, will often cache static assets while ignoring query-string cache busters such as ?ver=4.0.x. Once the CDN edge has cached the pre-4.0 file, a plugin upgrade alone won’t refresh it.

Two things to try, in this order:

Clear Kinsta’s CDN cache and the site’s object cache. From MyKinsta, go to your site → Cache → Clear Cache, and also clear the object cache. (We had another report this week that resolved entirely after clearing Cloudflare’s cache.)
Hard-refresh the browser (Cmd+Shift+R on macOS / Ctrl+F5 on Windows) so it doesn’t reuse a stale local copy either.

If the errors persist after that, please share a fresh console capture and we’ll dig further. I’d be especially interested in whether co-authors-plus.js is still serving from coauthors_create_autosuggest, or whether it now shows coauthors_create_autocomplete (which is the correct name in 4.0+).
