    Hi,

    I’m a little concerned about the state of the following plugins:

    • PDF Embedder Secure
    • PDF Thumbnails Premium

    As a Pro user, I have those plugins installed in my WP instance. My portal shows available updates for both of them; however, any attempt to update fails.

    I did some digging and it looks like those plugins disappeared from the WP Plugins repository completely.

    Additionally, when I enter plugin settings I can only see ‘There has been a critical error on this website’. Here is the error stack trace from the logs:

    PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: PDFEmbedder\Admin\Admin::get_url(): Argument #1 ($section) must be of type string, null given, called in /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/pdf-embedder/src/Admin/Admin.php on line 249 and defined in /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/pdf-embedder/src/Admin/Admin.php:746

    thrown in /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/pdf-embedder/src/Admin/Admin.php on line 746

    WordPress v6.7.2.

    My installed plugins:

    • PDF Embedder (v4.9.0) by PDF Embedder
    • PDF Embedder Premium Secure (v4.4.5) by Lever Technology LLC
    • PDF Embedder Secure (v5.2.3) by PDF Embedder
    • PDF Thumbnails Premium (v1.5.0) by PDF Embedder

    Could you please advise which of those plugins I should keep? What is the state of the plugins mentioned at the beginning?

    Hello @pelwu,

    Let me clarify things here, as I see there is a misunderstanding.

    PDF Embedder (v4.9.0) is a free plugin, available on www.ads-software.com here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/pdf-embedder/
    You can search for it and install it from within your WP admin area “Plugins > Add new” page.

    All other plugins you mentioned:

    • PDF Embedder Premium Secure (v4.4.5)
    • PDF Embedder Secure (v5.2.3)
    • PDF Thumbnails Premium (v1.5.0)

    have never been released on www.ads-software.com and were never available on www.ads-software.com/plugins.

    Those are paid plugins that can only be purchased on https://wp-pdf.com.

    “PDF Embedder Premium Secure” and “PDF Embedder Secure” are the same plugins which are just named slightly differently, and they are different versions.

    If you have PDF Embedder Secure, please make sure that “PDF Embedder Premium Secure” is deactivated. The version v4.4.5 is very old and doesn’t work properly with modern WordPress and PHP.

    All the latest versions of PDF Embedder Premium (v5.3+) require PDF Embedder (free) v4.9.0. So please make sure you have both installed, activated and of the latest versions.

    PDF Thumbnails was always a paid plugin with no free version, you can download the latest version from your Account area on wp-pdf.com. But your WordPress site should also allow you to update to its latest version (1.5.1).

    If you can’t update your PDF Embedder Premium Secure, PDF Embedder Premium, PDF Embedder Premium (Legacy), or PDF Embedder Secure (Legacy) for some reason – please reach out to support here.
