 * Hello there,
 * Let’s see how we can help.
 * Please first deauthorize Optin Cat from the list of authorized apps in Aweber’s
   account area then enter a new code again in the Auth Code field. Then check if
   the issue persists.
 * If it still has the same issue, then there might be conflict in between Optin
   Cat and your currently active theme or other active plugins since we don’t have
   other reports from other users and is most likely an issue unique to your installation.
 * To search for conflicts, please follow these steps.
 * 1. First please deactivate all plugins except Optin Cat and see if the issue 
   persists.
    2. If the issue is resolved, reactivate your plugins one by one to
   see if the issue returns. 3. If no conflict is found among your plugins, try 
   reverting to a default WP theme like ‘Twenty Sixteen’, or ‘Twenty Seventeen’,
   and see if the issue is resolved.
 * Head here for detailed instructions:

 * If you find a conflict with a plugin or theme, let us know what it was so that
   we can release a fix if it’s a popular one. Also, try to contact the contact 
   the author of the theme or the plugin to see if they can fix it.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
    I did exactly what you said. But I didn’t find any conflicts and still not
   working.
 * My theme is Decree, so maybe it’s because of it.
 * Can you fix it?

 * Hello there,
 * Have you tried switching themes yet? Since this might also be a theme conflict
   in between Optin and your theme so you might as well try that on your end.
 * Thanks.

 * Hello there,
 * We’ve had some problems with some customers that were with Aweber in the past
   because of how things would not work on Aweber’s API end and generally got fixed
   after waiting 2-3 days.
 * However, since you’re with another plugin now I think if you ever decide to revisit
   us again we could be glad to help more.
 * Thanks.

 * Hey there,
 * I changed back to you and I changed the theme. Unfortunately the problem hasn’t
   been solved.
 * Can you do anything for that?
 * Thanks

 * Hello there,
 * Can you please deactivate all your plugins again to see if the issue persists?
 * Also, try to deauthorize Optin Cat from the list of authorized apps in Aweber
   and try with a new Auth Code once again.
 * We ask because Aweber is strange sometimes and can just not work with its API
   in some cases.
 * Please follow the above steps and get back to us with this information.
 * Thanks
