Unsupported plugin for Php 7.4

Promising software, but has fatal bugs and looking at the error messages it seems like there are some simple typos in some of their variable name calls.

Unfortunately, the free version of the software is unsupported, so I’ve no choice other than to uninstall and choose another similar product.
