 * Activating the plugin returns the warning
 *     ```
       mysql_query(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead
       ```
   
 * but this blocks all wp. I have had to **remove** the plugin to have wp up again!!
   
   I use PHP Version 5.5.6 and WP 3.9
