 * I had issues as well using the PDF secure version (which requires the regular
   version to run) until I upgraded to the 5.2.3 version of PDF Secure which seems
   to have resolved the previous issue. Prior to this recent upgrade, I would manually
   create the embed code by copying the path of the uploaded document and using 
   that. So here is an example: [pdf-embedder url=”[https://www.yourwebsiteURL/wp-content/uploads/securepdfs/subfolder/subfolder/my_pdf_name.pdf”%5D](https://www.yourwebsiteURL/wp-content/uploads/securepdfs/subfolder/subfolder/my_pdf_name.pdf”%5D)

 * Hi, I am looking at this thread because updating to WP 5.6 caused an issue with
   my School’s website such that I had to restore back to the previous version of
   WP 5.5. We have implemented a popup on the home page of our website ([https://www.carlosrosario.org/](https://www.carlosrosario.org/)).
   When I upgraded to WP 5.6, the homepage never completed loading and none of the
   menu items or hyperlinks worked, let alone responded. When I deactivated the 
   Popup Maker plugin, the site worked flawlessly with the 5.6 upgrade.
 * I’m not versed enough to dig into the JS code, etc. so absent some direction,
   I will need to look at replacing this plugin with another one. Thanks!

 * Okay… I’m DONE! I tried updating this plugin once again and CRASH!!! At least
   with WordPress 5.2.x, you get an email pointing you in the direction of the issue.
   I have copied it below:
    ——————————————————————————— Error Details ==========
   === An error of type E_COMPILE_ERROR was caused in line 20 of the file /home/
   ogotmr/public_html/repogotmr/wp-content/themes/ChildThemeDivi/functions.php. 
   Error message: Cannot redeclare pp_custom_excerpt_length() (previously declared
   in /home/ogotmr/public_html/repogotmr/wp-content/plugins/process-steps-template-
   designer/includes/process_functions.php:3) ————————————————————————————- Needles
   to say, I have deactivated the plugin and most likely will remove it permanently.
   I am not a happy camper but it was good while it lasted…. 😐
