    Hi Rick,

    The problem is that the plugin now requires React to work, and React is only shipped in WP from version 5. In the previous version I had React shipped in the plugin as well, but that was not really good since loading two librairies might bring many issues.

    Unfortunately, we need to go forward 🙂 And you should. WP 5 is good. If you are afraid of Gutenberg, don’t use it – you don’t have to.

    Hi Jordy,

    Thanks for the reply.

    Which version included React? I tried 6.0.8 with the same results.

    I understand your perspective as a developer regarding WP 5.x but my decision to stick with 4.9 is based on work-flow efficiency, cost benefits (related to some plugins), and simple preference, not fear.

    Have a good one,

    Rick

    Hi @un_rick,

    I am not sure, but it’s too problematic and difficult to try to add support for version below 5, for so many reasons 🙁 Worse, it would impact negatively all the users on 5+ (I would need to make sure I don’t call functions which were added in 5, and also add React to my bundles, which will slow down the loading and might even clash with other plugins or certain 5.x versions).

    For Media Cleaner, you would need to use an old version, but I wouldn’t recommend it neither. Using older versions of WP is really tricky, I am afraid.
