 * is the patched file, for your convenience.
 * Please let me know if it works fine.
 * I have to dedicate some time to updating the plugin, but was sort of waiting 
   for 1.5.1. Sorry for the delay.

 * I can’t seem to get this to work now. There are no errors in the plugin, it just
   gives me a blank page when I am logged in and redirects me to the login page 
   when I am not logged in. It is working for non-logged in members (redirect) but
   still not working when I am logged in. Any suggestions?
