 * Hello.
 * I am trying your plugin but it isn’t working. It tried it a few days back on 
   another install and there it did work well.
 * When I go to media library and want to protect a file I get this message: “Opps!
   There is something’s wrong with plugin API. Please try again or contact plugin
   owner.”
 * It has something to with ‘rest api’ because in the ‘redirection’ plugin that 
   I use I get an error aswell. And when I use ‘instant images’ there I can not 
   upload pictures from unsplash anymore. Also REST API error.
 * Does this have to do with your plugin? Because the other plugins worked fine 
   before I installed prevent direct access.
 * Removing the plugin still doesn’t fix it for the other plugins and I still want
   to try your plugin aswell.
 * Can you help me?
 * Ser

 * And now I need to check the author’s replies, all of them…
 * [@buildwps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/buildwps/) I’ve deleted your 
   offer to login to your user’s site. I’m am 100% sure you mean well but please
   _never ask for credentials._ I have flagged your account temporarily. That just
   means that your post will need to be approved and @ notifications from you will

 * Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and
   a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some
   ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the
   person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.
 * If something was to go wrong, then you the author may well legally become liable
   for damages, which they would not normally have been as their software is provided

   you to repeatedly stop before escalating up to the plugins team.**
