 * Hi CLIENT NAME REMOVED,
 * further to the issues with the frequently bought together plugin.
 * The developers have overreached in the development of the plugin and added new
   dynamic functionality. Unfortunately, that now means the plugin no longer works
   with your existing set-up.
 * These are the problems that are now occurring:
    - Empty box on pages that do not use the plugin because they are forcing it 
      onto every page.
    - Dynamic ‘unloading / removal’ of currently displaying product level set bought
      together products once a product variation is chosen resulting in notification‘
      Permissions check failed’ inside an empty box.
    - Product qty increase / decrease no longer functioning.
 * There are other solutions but that would mean the complete removal of the plugin
   in DEV, new plugin and further testing, then the identification of all products
   using the existing plugin and similar settings then applied to the new plugin
   before going back live.
 * I will contact the plugin developers for support as it is a premium plugin however
   I expect them to do as most of them do and shift the blame elsewhere.
 * Total removal and implementation of an alternative solution could be 30-40 hours
   or more as I will have to go through almost every product on your website.
 * I’ll let you know what they say.
 * Best regards,
 *   Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/)

 * Basically, the plugin is no longer compatible with caching.

 * And here’s the third issue since your great new update. THE QTY INCREASE NO LONGER
   WORKS.
 * Example: [https://www.leisurequip.com/shop/product/tylo-vista-160-steam-shower-cabin-with-stella-column/](https://www.leisurequip.com/shop/product/tylo-vista-160-steam-shower-cabin-with-stella-column/)
 * What a great new way to encourage me to now look for an alternative. I suppose
   1 less paying customer won’t matter.

 * Following up on this, the issue is tied into the litespeed cache plugin. When
   the cache is cleared the issue no longer exists, however I expect it to re-occur
   once the cache is fully formed.
 * As an aside, this is the 2nd issue I have encountered since the last update. 
   Seems to me you have overreached in the development of additional functionality
   and tarnished a useful plugin in the process.

 * Nevermind I had added this to functions.php
 *     ```wp-block-code
       function hide_empty_woobt_wrap() {    ?>    <script type="text/javascript">        jQuery(document).ready(function($) {            $('.woobt-wrap').each(function() {                if ($(this).is(':empty')) {                    $(this).css('display', 'none');                }            });        });    </script>    <?php}add_action('wp_footer', 'hide_empty_woobt_wrap');
       ```
