I’ll see if others have the same issue as me with v1.8, If not I’ll reinstall v1.8 and do further testing, but I spent a fair amount of time with the obvious stuff this morning. * Thanks Wayne, you are appreciated, * RJ * Plugin Author [Wayne Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wayneallen-1/) * (@wayneallen-1) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/v1-8/#post-8324658) * Please post your test config in any case.
