Use of Focus Point plug in generates error message

Question

I purchased a new Mac, and installed LR (still using old Mac) and in using the Focus Point plug in I get the following error:

Can not process this photo - could not find any preview in LR preview catalog. Reason: Call to sqlite failed. Either sqlite is not installed correctly or there was another problem calling sqlite.

Have redone all my previews, reinstalled, rebooted, on and on. What am I doing wrong? Anyone know how to fix?

Thank you.

It appears the plugin is using undocumented (and unsupported) methods to access the LR preview cache. Adobe changed the implementation of the LR preview cache in LR 13.3, so the plugin needs to be updated. You could try contacting the plugin's author, but if you're referring to the Show Focus Points plugin, unfortunately it hasn't been updated since 2019.
