 * you haven’t given any details as to what is and what is not working. Obviously
   it works for us (we released it). We talk to people every day it works for and
   have thousands of users without any issues at all.
 * Have you tried it with all your plugins deactivated or on the default theme? 
   Or a new WP install?

 * With all plugins deactivated – nada. Also tried switching to the default WP theme–
   nada. Message never sends or shows up in the que. Running WP 3.3.1.
 * When you say new WP install – do you mean to re-install the current version or
   a different install altogether?

 * Hasn’t worked for me either. Tried on 7 different sites. I just get the response
   from total bounty that thousands of people have downloaded it, so it must work.
   I don’t think they realize that just because someone downloads it doesn’t mean
   they are using it.

 * I don’t use your plugin… but I was wondering what that 225kb certificates file
   is that’s included in your plugin.
 * Does that get installed to the database and send out blast spam and emails?? 
   It looks pretty fishy to me.
 * Here is just a tiny snippet from the questionable file:
 *     ```
       ";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}

       {s:7:"encoded";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:8147:"<p><a href="http://www.jtpratt.com/where-to-find-free-stock-images-and-photos/">Where to Find Free Stock Images and Photos</a></p><p><img src="http://www.jtpratt.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/free-stock-photos-pd-images.jpg" alt="free-stock-photos-pd-images" title="free-stock-photos-pd-images" width="554" height="260" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2065" /></p>

 * As an experienced wordpress user, and part-time developer, I’d be pretty cautious
   of this one…
 * Can anyone provide me a website who has this plugin installed?

 * [@josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh/): It might be worth alerting
   the folks over at plugins[at]wordpress.org about this. Just in case…

 * [@brianleon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brianleon/) – you can’t just
   say “it doesn’t work” and have no details – how can we troubleshoot that? Works
   fine for us in all test sites with different theme and plugin configurations,
   so we need more information.
 * [@josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh/), [@esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/)–
   there’s nothing to be cautious about, those are widget placement files used for
   testing, you can delete theme (they don’t do anything). We’ll remove them in 
   the next release.

 * [@josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh/), [@esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/)–.
   spc test files removed as well as simplepie file removed
 * also other bugs fixed
