 * Hello David.
 * The following behaviour can occur when transferring an item from Lightroom to
   WordPress using WP/LR sync. Though it happens more often I can’t reproduce it
   clearly. It seems, that it is not happening when I deactivate MLA and LA Plugins.
 * Though there is an error message, the image is saved within the media library.
   When I start transferring the image from Lightroom again another image will be
   saved again. So I end up with several intances of the same image with error messages
   again and again.
 * Message within Lightroom `The server returns an empty reply. Please check your
   PHP Error Logs.`
 * Message from PHP LOG FILE `[27-Sep-2020 15:13:28 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught
   Error: Call to a member function rename() on null in /homepages/16/d663833562/
   htdocs/clickandbuilds/Geschichten/wp-content/plugins/media-library-assistant/
   includes/class-mla-data.php:4597`
 * My current mla version is `Version 2.84, 20200823`.

 * Today I received a sightly different message in Lightroom and I found out that
   the behaviour was caused by another plugin (wp cerber, security). No clue, why
   it occured every now and then but it is definitely not caused by MLA. Sorry for
   that 🙂

 * Thanks for your update and for your patience while I was traveling. I am happy
   to see that MLA is apparently not the source of the problem.
 * The PHP error message you reported is caused by a bit of MLA code that looks 
   for Jordy Meow’s Media File Renamer plugin; are you using that plugin? It implies
   that something has gone wrong with that plugin, but I can’t be sure. I will add
   a test that will avoid the message, but that won’t affect the problem.
 * I am leaving this topic resolved, but if you do get any more information post
   an update or send me an email with what you find. Thanks!

 * I am using the plug-in from Jordy meow which you mentioned.
    The error message
   that I got was related to a error 405 method not allowed. To my understanding
   Wp Cerber tries to identify wether Bots are using a form. There is a switch for
   that but I couldn’t make it work, hence I deactivated wp Cerber for now. Thank
   you.
