@ahmetu66,
Check if verify_liking function exists in like_util.py file, so that it can import it and make sure custom.py uses the pulled latest files.

Strange, the function didn't exist. Shouldn't that be pulled too? I have now added the function and it works again. Thanks!

@aku6640,
These are the list of commits, https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy/commits/master
See if you have pulled all of the latest ones.
But for that particular function, #1919 is sufficient.

what is the best way to pull without getting errors? I use git pull most of the time, but it seems there must be a better way?

@aku6640,
git is the only way to pull from GitHub repositories (_I guess so_).
I use GitHub Desktop app which runs the git commands in background and yet for some actions, I still do run git in command prompt, e.g., for stash, pop, rebase and etc. (_GitHub Desktop app does have limited capabilities_)
It is best to learn git which is used in many places as a source control mechanism, e.g., latest MS Visual Studio has an official GitHub extension and installs git by default...
Having said those, alternatively, you can either re-download zipped source files from repository and replace with your old ones OR see the commits history and apply the changes manually.
Goood luck!

Hint: learn more about solving conflicts after a git pull and use a dedicated text editor like Atom to see the unstaged changes easily!
