 * Install plugin on a fresh WordPress installs after having no luck getting this
   plugin to work on an existing site. I created a new “live” WordPress site (not
   local dev) and a new “staging” WordPress site. The plugin would not function.
   Installs were on a 4.5.2 version of WordPress with other plugins installed. I
   used the same credentials on both sites in the plugin settings. Tests were done
   on Chrome and Firefox without success.

 * Correction to my original post: There were **NO** other plugins installed on 
   either site.

 * Hello Alec,
 * What are the permalinks setting on the target? The permalinks need to be saved
   as something other than “Plain”. Please change and then try again.
 * If this resolves your issue please mark this ticket as ‘Resolved’.

 * The permalink setting was the issue. Made the correction and the plugin is working
   great. Looking forward to new developments and add-ons. Thanks.
