   a blank page. Only /pdf-template/ outputs a page with formatted content. I get
   no error message at all. What could be wrong?
 * Best

 * Are you running the most recent version of the plugin?
 * Do you get any errors with WP_DEBUG set to `true` ?

 * Well there you go.
 * Your server is giving you a connection refused when trying to connect via localhost,
   and a 401 code when trying over a the real domain (clients.thedrama.de).

 * But why is there a connection to localhost?
    Ist htaccess protection the reason
   that its not working? Shouldn’t a relative path work even with htaccess enabled?

 * Ask your host. Something is misconfigured on your server. I can’t help you with
   it without access to the server itself.
