 * The new version 6.0.6, just released, does not seem to correct the issue noted
   here:
   [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cropping-doesnt-work-in-expanded-editor/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cropping-doesnt-work-in-expanded-editor/)
 * Might a version 6.0.7 incorporate the updated input-script.js file, or otherwise
   address this issue?
 * We’re using 6.0.5 with the replacement file, but would prefer to use the latest
   version of the plugin.
 * Thank you!

 * Hello Matt!
 * As you can read in the changelog, the new 6.0.6 release is focused on security
   fixes. It does not add support for the “expanded editor”.
 * This plugin was released in 2018, shortly after ACF 5 came out. This version 
   of ACF didn’t have an “expanded editor”. While I aim to keep this plugin updated
   with current ACF versions, I can’t anticipate when a new feature is introduced
   in ACF.
 * Because of this, the plugin will not automatically be compatible with every new
   ACF feature when they are released.
 * I hope you can understand!
 * However, I hope I will be able to add support for the “expanded editor” in a 
   future release of this plugin.

 * Thank you for the reply!
 * I’ve been using your plugin for at least 6 years – maybe even the full 8 years
   since you first released it. It’s been a long time. I’ve got it running on 65
   websites.
 * Right now, the plugin is completely useless if I update to your latest version.
   Our only option is to apply the fix that the other user was generous enough to
   share.
 * We tried updating to 6.0.6 and the functionality went away, so we reverted to
   6.0.5 with the fix. Yet untested is whether we can apply that fix to the 6.0.6
   version. I was hoping it could just be incorporated into the actual plugin so
   that we could safely begin updating again.
 * I understand that this user’s approach might not be exactly your own and you 
   may wish to add support in a different way. But it works, and without it we cannot
   use your plugin.
 * Also, to note, I believe ACF had to update its approach to stay in step with 
   WordPress core. It’s not really a new ACF feature but rather the move they had
   to make to maintain WP core compatibility.
 * Thanks again for taking the time to reply!

 * Hello!
 * I understand that it is a frustrating situation. I can’t provide support for 
   patches that are made by third parties.
 * However, I asked Claude to port the v6.0.5 path to v6.0.6, you can find the patched
   file here:
 * [https://gist.github.com/joppuyo/7ca3d082148a895f4ca91a54ef03b4d6](https://gist.github.com/joppuyo/7ca3d082148a895f4ca91a54ef03b4d6)
 * I tested it in my local development environment and it seemed to work with ACF
   blocks registered with version 3.
 * Please keep in mind that I don’t have any projects where I use block version 
   3.
 * This is the reason such support doesn’t exist in the plugin: I haven’t encountered
   this issue in any of my projects.
 * So I don’t give any guarantee that the patched version will work.
 * But please do test it and report if it works for you.
 * I’m planning on adding proper support for block version 3 in a future version
   of this plugin when I have tested that it works throughly.

 * In the same boat. I’ve been using and loving this plugin for years. Hoping for
   a patch soon otherwise will have to jump ship.
