We recently updated to 4.5.0 and then our entire website broke. This is the fatal error we got: Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "Elementor\Widget_Base" not found at …/wp-content/plugins/embedpress/EmbedPress/Elementor/Widgets/Embedpress_Pdf_Gallery.php:12 Stack trace: #0 require_once() ← …/EmbedPress/AutoLoader.php:168 #1 EmbedPress\AutoLoader->loadMappedFile() ← …/EmbedPress/AutoLoader.php:134 #2 EmbedPress\AutoLoader->loadClass() ← …/wp-includes/plugin.php:130 #3 add_filter() ← …/wp-includes/plugin.php:447 #4 add_action() ← …/EmbedPress/Gutenberg/BlockManager.php:114 #5 EmbedPress\Gutenberg\BlockManager->__construct() ← …/EmbedPress/Gutenberg/BlockManager.php:86 #6 EmbedPress\Gutenberg\BlockManager::get_instance() ← …/EmbedPress/Gutenberg/InitBlocks.php:28 #7 embedpress_init_blocks() ← …/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php:341 #8 WP_Hook->apply_filters() ← …/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php:365 #9 WP_Hook->do_action() ← …/wp-includes/plugin.php:522 #10 do_action() ← …/wp-settings.php:742 #11 require_once('...') ← …/wp-config.php:135 #12 require_once('...') ← …/wp-load.php:50 #13 require_once('...') ← …/wp-blog-header.php:13 #14 require('...') ← …/index.php:17 #15 {main} The first line seem to reference Elementor, but we do not use Elementor on this website.
