    Hello Prince,

    I tried ver. 2.0.1 again in the localhost setup, but had the same result.
    It is frozen on the left side of the screen.
    Please see the following screenshots of ver. 1.1.2, which works well and ver. 2.0.1, which is not working and has yellow patches of background.

    Adding custom CSS does not solve the problems.

    You will be happy to know that upgrading the hosted server to PHP 8.1 does not cause any problems and the display and functions are normal.
    Since this is the case, I would appreciate any suggestions and will check further at my end, but since the localhost installation is not online, there is no urgency to fix it.

    Thank you again for the plug-in and the recent updates.

    Hi @malae
    It seems it may be a caching issue.

    Can you please check it again by clearing your server cache and your browser cache with a hard refresh?

    Hello Prince,

    This issue was not really important since it does not affect the hosted site on PHP 7.4 and will not affect it, if I upgrade to PHP 8.1. However, the behaviour was strange: the plugin loaded in the wrong position, has an issue with the background colour of the controls and was frozen with no response. I found the issue challenging, but did not feel it was a caching issue. The LAMP server has no caching set up, because it only has a single user and no traffic. Restarting the server and clearing the browser cache would rule out a persistence problem.

    I checked the WordPress Site Health Status and noted a warning that the optional intl module was missing. This has only recently appeared and in the past perhaps was neglected by WordPress. On LAMP servers used for development, we keep the modules to the minimum and add as needed. I added php-intl module, edited the php.ini file accordingly, restarted the server and the problem with the plugin disappeared. However, the WordPress Site Health Status warning remained. Perhaps some libraries are compatible with PHP 8.1, but not officially released for that version of PHP, so the data used by WordPress is not up-to-date.

    Since your plugin is accessing sites around the world and may be installed in sites using more than one language, as in this case too, it appears that it is essential to install the intl module. I’m happy to have found the solution and hope that this may of use to you, should similar issues occur with other users.
