this error is while updating to 4.25.1 as well. Does not seem to affect functioning till now.

Is this a known bug @Kevin @Kym ? sorry for tagging you, but saw you folks active on some other thread thus.

Hey all! :wave: This is a known bug and is being tracked here. The fix has already been merged into Ghost and it’ll be released soon. If you’re on 4.25.1 and stuck, you can follow the instructions here to rollback. :slightly_smiling_face:

I can confirm that, after upgrading to v4.26.1, the error is no longer shown after restarting Ghost.

Thank you for your work.
