I was updating a couple of plugins through the Dashboard -> Updates page (not Advanced iFrame Pro) and I got an error message after the updates were done related to the Advanced iFrame Pro plugin, which also came to my email:

My Site Details:
WordPress version 5.7.1
Current theme: Storefront Child Theme (version 1.0)
Current plugin: Advanced iFrame Pro (version 2021.3)
PHP version 8.0.3
Seems the ai_external.js cannot be created on your system.
Please delete under js/ai_external.js and let the plugin recreate this file.
Best regards, Michael
I will also update the plugin that you get the proper error message. php 8 is causing here issues because some calls are not allowed anymore.
I have a new version available. Can you please test this? I have php 8 but i don't have the issues that I cannot write the file.
Can you provide a e-mail that accept zip files so I can sent it to you?
I think you had the issue maybe before but I have added a new hock that files that needed to be generated are also generated at a update. Before you needed to save the administration manually.
Best regards, Michael
You can email me at jesse@nhreq.com. If I delete the ai_external.js file in my plugin folder then my iframes won't work, so how do I get the plugin to recreate the file once I delete it so that they will work again? Everytime I update the plugin, I rename the folder for the current version to advanced-iframe-old, then import in the folder of the updated version to the server, and then move the ai_external.js file from the old folder to the new one so that the iframes I've already created continue to work.
