 * Anti-Spam by CleanTalk conflicts with PowerPress 11.17 in the WordPress
   Gutenberg
   post editor.
 * With CleanTalk active, PowerPress tabs do not respond.
 * Console errors:
   Uncaught SyntaxError: Identifier ‘_’ has already been declared/
   wp-content/plugins/powerpress/js/admin.min.js?ver=11.17
 * Uncaught ReferenceError: powerpress_openTab is not defined
 * PowerPress works correctly when CleanTalk is disabled. All other plugins
   can 
   remain enabled. The issue occurs in both Safari and Chrome.The issue only occurs
   when Anti-Spam by CleanTalk is active. With CleanTalk disabled (and all other
   plugins enabled), the PowerPress “Chapters & Transcript” tabs work normally.
