Update 5/25/2023: We have implemented version 2.25.18 of LLLAR plugin that resolves the issue. Please update to the latest version of LLAR now. This is a solution to resolve plugin conflicts for some web hosting providers.
Some web hosting providers add our plugin to all of their WordPress websites. They use MU folder (Must-Use Folder) which makes the LLAR plugin required and customers can’t normally remove it. We talked about it in this LLAR in MU folder article. However, under certain conditions, users do have the ability to install our plugin using the regular plugin installation process. This will result in two versions running at the same time on the same website – not a good idea! Some conflicts and errors like below might happen.
Solution
The solution is simple and only takes a few minutes.
Step 1: Remove the version you have under the “Plugins” section (/wp-admin/plugins.php)
Step 2: Configure the version of LLAR your web hosting provider installed for you. You can find this version of the plugin under “Settings” in your WordPress admin dashboard.
After these steps are completed, your website will be fully operational again.
Unfortunately, you won’t be using the latest version of LLAR, but rest assure it will be a safe and effective version. Plugins installed in the MU folder are controlled by the web host provider and are not updated as frequently. Our team does not have any control over this and we cannot force your web host provider to update MU plugins.
