@Ahmed_Gagan is the Author by the looks of it.

Looks like an interesting plugin. At a guess needs updating as most of the plugin seems to not have had updates for 2 to 3 years. With some items updated last year.

When this plugin was working properly do you recall what version number your Discourse was at?

Are you running “Stable” or the recommended “Tests-passed”

From what I can glean is that the breakage is related to changes in core and the plugin will need some updates.

I’d wait and see if the plugin dev sees this topic. I have @ mentioned him.

My first time using this plugin, I’m using the version I’m using now is 3.4.0.beta1-dev

Actively maintained plugins almost always have a Topic on meta, otherwise you are in the Wild West and will need to defend yourself :cowboy_hat_face:
