 * I think I just found the issue, the variables were getting mangled before getting
   passed. doing some more testing but should have an update out shortly.

 * I see the issue now. your install is running in a subfolder, so the API URL is
   getting stripped prior to making a call. there will be another update to solve
   this.

 * [@esteban88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esteban88/) just pushed a fix
   that should take care of the subfolder issue
