 * Hi,
 * The latest update of Xpro Theme Builder is causing a PHP error and crashes the
   websites that have been updated to this version.
 * The error indicates that the plugin is trying to load `inc/sidebar.php`, but 
   the file is missing from the plugin installation:
 * Warning: require_once(/home/www/website.com/wp-content/plugins/xpro-theme-builder/
   inc/sidebar.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/
   website.com/wp-content/plugins/xpro-theme-builder/plugin.php on line 108
 * This happens immediately after updating the plugin. Could you please check the
   latest plugin package/update and fix this issue?
 * Best regards.

 * Same here. After updating Xpro Theme Builder For Elementor to V1.2.14, the site
   crashed immediately. The worst thing is I don’t see any option to go back to 
   the previous version.
