 * Hi Support,
    I disabled your plugin, it was crashing my site. If you can please
   check on your end, I believe something is not OK with my API to your site? Thank
   you

 * Thanks for keeping this thread updated.
 * To provide some more insight to what the problem was for anyone else who is interested–
   if your WordPress destination address (can be your domain or your IP address)
   or blog ID changes , then your GrabPress Autoposter (backend) connector will 
   break. Autoposter needs to know your domain or IP to send posts or messages from
   our remote server to your server – once this changes, your connection breaks.
 * It would be great if we could send an error message to the plugin to let users
   know why their Autoposter connector has broken, but unfortunately, without the
   connector, there is no way for us to communicate with our backend. The best way
   to prevent this from happening is to use a DNS or domain name when you install
   GrabPress, as opposed to an IP address (that may change, depending on your service
   provider).

 * Hi Guys,
    Thank you, I had installed “secure hosting” on my site, but then noticed
   that Grabpress code did not work with https. I then removed secure from my site,
   which caused my IP address to change. This broke the API, which I figured thats
   what it was. If you want, should be a way for us on the “dashboard” on grab-media.
   com and allow us to resync the API or copy paste one in the WordPress plugin 
   and paste into grab-media.com dashboard, somewhere in settings. Just a thought.
   Appreciate the fast response and turnaround time! Enjoy the weekend guys!
