 * Yep, good question!
 * This is a great plugin, very useful, but unfortunately seems to have a few important
   bugs and problems that really need to be looked at. I guess like many of us WP
   is a hobby outside of other employment, but it would be a shame to lose the big
   user-base you have built up so far!
 * The main issues I am having are:-
    – Whitelist this variable link in warning 
   emails doesn’t work (as described here: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-firewall2-how-to-whitelist-a-parameter-on-a-page?replies=6](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-firewall2-how-to-whitelist-a-parameter-on-a-page?replies=6)–
   Errors on saving any parameters or settings in the admin panel, as described 
   here: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-firewall-2-warning-after-setting-whitelisted-ips?replies=18](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-firewall-2-warning-after-setting-whitelisted-ips?replies=18)
 * Could you please look into these as soon as you get chance, as unfortunately 
   I’ve just had to deactivate the plugin for now :'(
 * Thanks, James
