    ***
    WordPresss v6.8.2
    Media File Renamer v6.1.2
    ***

    When I rename a media file, an error appears on the screen, but I can force the process to continue by refreshing the page with F5.

    The JavaScript error displayed on the window is as follows:

    —
    Failed to execute ‘ removeChild’ on ‘ Node’ : The node to be removed is not a child of this node.
    —

    I’ve also checked the PHP log, which shows an Ideal filename error before the rename process, but the renaming itself seems to be completed successfully.

    Please let me know if this is a known issue or what steps I should take to fix it.
    Thank you for your assistance.

    Best regards,

    Hey @hotcoffee777! 👋

    This issue isn’t happening directly because of the plugin, but because your website is running an older version of React (<18). Make sure to update it and everything should work fine.

    This package is usually loaded by your theme, WordPress core, or other plugin dependencies, so update your theme, WordPress, PHP, or anything else that might be out of date (including Media Renamer), and the issue should be resolved.

    The order in which plugins and themes are loaded can have an impact, if one of them loads an older version of React as a dependency, you’ll likely experience the issue. It might be that now one of your other plugins/theme is loading an older version.

    You can also try in a different browser to see if this issue is happening only in a single environment.

    Hope this helps!
