This is related to your setup, as the `Utilities` class does in fact `use` the `PluginUtilities` trait (you can see it in your screenshot there), which is `required` [elsewhere in the plugin](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse/blob/main/wp-discourse.php#L42).

Your issue may be that the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin is not being loaded properly and you’re attempting to use the `Utilities` class in a code snippet. Do you have any custom code using [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) `Utilities`? Is the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin currently “Activated”?
