 * [@4wdabcwebmaster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/4wdabcwebmaster/) Thanks
   for letting me know about the issue.
   Please update the plugin. I’ve pushed a 
   new version specifically for this problem, which has been resolved.

 * Looks like something else is unresolved:
 * Howdy! WordPress has a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes
   a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email. In this
   case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, Custom Profile Picture.
   First, visit your website ([https://4wdabc.ca/](https://4wdabc.ca/)) and check
   for any visible issues. Next, visit the page where the error was caught ([https://4wdabc.ca/wp-admin/](https://4wdabc.ca/wp-admin/))
   and check for any visible issues. Please contact your host for assistance with
   investigating this issue further. If your site appears broken and you can’t access
   your dashboard normally, WordPress now has a special “recovery mode”. This lets
   you safely login to your dashboard and investigate further. [https://4wdabc.ca/wp-login.php?action=enter_recovery_mode&rm_token=Xt2JKi9JBnog2cQ5SgHmh3&rm_key=aG3lcuaO2WFo1jXWe2jxoh](https://4wdabc.ca/wp-login.php?action=enter_recovery_mode&rm_token=Xt2JKi9JBnog2cQ5SgHmh3&rm_key=aG3lcuaO2WFo1jXWe2jxoh)
   To keep your site safe, this link will expire in 1 day. Don’t worry about that,
   though: a new link will be emailed to you if the error occurs again after it 
   expires. When seeking help with this issue, you may be asked for some of the 
   following information: WordPress version 7.0 Active theme: Kadence (version 1.5.0)
