Continuing...
I find that gVectors link is the proper link to this addon/plugin. They do not mention a version 3 anywhere on their site that I can see. However, they do state that wpForo v2 is required.
"This addon requires at least wpForo 2.0.0 version."
Ok - since I had previously paid for this addon, do I have to pay again to get the version that is compatible with wpForo v2?
I would imagine that this is a question that most such customers will have. I did a quick search in the forums to attempt to answer this on my own, but do not see it.
Please make sure your license keys are not expired. If they are still valid you should have gotten update notification in your Dashboard > Plugins admin page.
Thanks Robert.
I have no update notifications in my Dashboard.
I went to the addon/gVector site, and logged into my account. It states that my licenses are good until 20-Aug-2022. I still have 16 days left.
So, what do I do now?
Just for testing, I decided to see what would happen if I click on the "Activate" link for Advanced Attachments. Now my website is broken!!!
The first line of the error message if I attempt to go to www.birdersdiary.com is :
"Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_wpf_option()"
Brilliant!
Here is the entire error message...

There has been a critical error on this website.
Obviously, I am hoping you have a solution on how to fix this problem as my top priority now.
Update:
My site is functional again.
Using an FTP client, I renamed "wp-content/plugins/wpforo-advanced-attachments/wpforoattach.php" to "_wpforoattach.php" (placed underscore as first char) and now the site is functional.
Disaster averted!
Now looking for clear instructions on how to update to v3 of these plugins/addons. There is no option from the WP Dashboard, etc. for updating these plugins/addons and I have confirmed that they are still licensed.
