This bug was originally reported on the WordPress Support Forum here and here and here and here.

The following appears when replying to comments on the site as a logged-in admin using Comment Mail Lite v160818:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Undefined overload property: `utils_rve`.' in /vagrant/src/app/src/wp/wp-content/plugins/comment-mail/src/includes/classes/AbsBase.php:111

This appears to be related to something that is expecting the RVE code to be present, likely the result of the work done in https://github.com/websharks/comment-mail/issues/285 for the last release.

Additionally, when replying to comments from the WordPress Dashboard, the following shows up under the comment box. The comment reply goes through, but the JavaScript that refreshes the form fails and makes it look like the reply did not go through:

Temporary Workaround

At this time the only workaround is rolling back to the previous version of Comment Mail Lite, v160618.

Next Release Changelog:

• Bug Fix: Fixed a bug that was generating a fatal error when replying to comments. This bug only affected the Lite version of Comment Mail and was introduced by the previous release (v160818) where work was done to strip out unused Pro-only code from the Lite codebase. A few references to Pro-only functions were missed and that resulted in fatal errors for the Lite version in some scenarios. See Issue #297.
