 * Hey Everyone,
 * I am currently using a plugin that is not quite working correctly. In order to
   troubleshoot, the plugin author has requested I give him access to my admin panel.
 * This seems like a major security risk to me and I have no intention of doing 
   this. I just wanted to get some other opinions on this. Are there safer options
   for troubleshooting?
 * The blog I need help with is allmyleagues.com

 * Plugin authors should not need admin access to help you diagnose a problem. This
   particular author may have only the best intentions, and perhaps it’s in fact
   a complex issue easier solved with such access, but giving access to someone 
   you don’t know and trust is _never_ recommended.
 * Are there other plugins in the repository that can accomplish the same or similar
   things that you need it for? Are you sure that this plugin is causing your site’s
   troubles?
