Hi,
The Meow_WR2X_Dashboard is definitely part of the plugin, and it seems you are the only one with this issue. I think it’s best to delete the plugin completely and re-install it from scratch. It seems like files disappeared. Be also careful maybe not to have two versions of the plugin running at the same time.
Unfortunately that doesn’t solve the problem – that was the first thing I tried and I get the above message with every version after 4.8.
I really don’t understand the issue you are experiencing, I think something is happening on your install as none of my users encountered this problem. In the code, this can’t normally happen, as I am loading the file containing this class right before using it. There is something else going on. You can try installing the plugin on a totally different website just to check?
Same thing happens on a different website (on the same server) – there’s another recent support thread that has the same problem and symptoms (they also have their site hosted on IIS which I think is where the problem lies). Something has significantly changed from 4.8 to 5 that stops this plugin from working on windows servers. This is the stack trace when trying to activate the plugin.

I’ve deactivated all plugins and still the issue remains.
It looks as though the tweak made to the plugin 5.2.6 (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-impossible-to-enable-the-plugin/) has finally allowed the plugin to activate on IIS.
Yes, it should be fine now 🙂
