 * Hi there,
 * Any help would be appreciated here. I uploaded the Age Verification plugin but
   when I activated it the entire site threw a 403 error saying I don’t have permission
   to access the ageverification.php page or something similar. I deleted the folder
   from my plugins directory and the site returned to normal. However I would really
   like to use this plugin so if anyone can help me out I would appreicate it.
 * Thanks!

 * the plugin is only compatible up to wordpress ver. 2.6.
    Perhaps contact the 
   author about an update?

 * Update
 * I have installed and tested this plugin on 2 test installs (running 2.8-bleeding)
   and it works fine every way I can test it.
    I see no reason it wouldn’t work 
   with 2.7.1.

 * I get the same error – using wordpress popup scheduler instead – set to lightbox
   and with a clink requiring confirmation of 18+ to exit out of to home page.
 * Send me an email if you want a link to an example.
