After the latest update I get mails about critical errors. The mail was in German language, I have translated it:

Hi @rodrigogonzales,

Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention, and I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing this update error.

I just updated one of my sites with Elementor to try and replicate the issue, but I wasn’t able to reproduce it on my end. Could you please go to WPForms > Tools > System Info and share a copy of your site info with us? That would really help us investigate further.

I’m looking forward to your reply!
