 * Thank you! It actually turned out that what I wanted was the Fixed Sidebar instead
   of the Main. But it’s all fixed now.

 * Oh, and for reference, there are no contact forms on the site, so that’s not 
   the problem.

 * Just wanted to report back that I got an e-mail resolving the issue within 24
   hours, even on a federal holiday. Thanks, MailPoet!

 * Okay, this is weird. It shows I have two plans–one for my actual domain, and 
   one with no domain at all shown and with zero subscribers. I have no idea where
   that second plan came from. So I tried canceling the one with no domain, so that
   I could get the premium plan. It says it is canceled as of September 24, which
   presumably means I can’t get the new premium plan with up to 1,000 subscribers
   until then. Is there some way to speed up that process?

 * Oh, I know there are issues with having a category called “Select a State,” and
   I’m delighted to see that you have set up a way that this won’t be necessary 
   in the add link section. However, the change hasn’t eliminated the need for the“
   Select a State” category, because it currently applies only to adding links, 
   not to displaying them.
 * For example, in the linked page, if I don’t have a “Select a State” category,
   then when someone comes to the page, they will see that Alabama is selected, 
   but no links are shown. This would suggest that there are no state retirement
   systems listed for Alabama. It is not at all intuitive that you have to press
   the Go button to see the Alabama systems. So what I want to do is to have “Select
   a State” selected while displaying the links, so that one has to select a state
   and then press Go to see any of the states.
 * I did figure out what was going on with Recaptcha. I was using the v.3 keys when
   I should have been using the v.2 keys. And I didn’t realize that there was an
   issue, because Recaptcha wasn’t kicking in as long as I was logged in. Since 
   v.3 doesn’t show on the page, and the form was working when I used it, I figured
   all was well–until someone told me the form didn’t work. And then I went buggy
   trying to figure out why it seemed to work sometimes and not others. However,
   all is now well.
 * And yes, I always donate when you solve one of my problems. 😊

 * I was finally able to log in to Sendgrid. I set up Sendgrid’s API. I followed
   the instructions on setting up SMTP settings. However, now when I attempt to 
   send an e-mail, it just puts up a popup that says,
 * > Sending a test email
   >  Loading
 * And that message never goes away. After a very long time, it puts up a second
   popup that says:
 * > Request error not JSON
   >  <title>The page is temporarily unavailable</title>
 * There are several lines of HTML code below that, but the general message is, “
   The page you are looking for is temporarily unavailable. Please try again.”

 * I am having a hard time figuring out how to do that. Right now, when I click 
   on login on the Sendgrid site, it sends me to [https://app.sendgrid.com/login](https://app.sendgrid.com/login),
   which says,
 * > This page isn’t working
   >  app.sendgrid.com didn’t send any data. ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE
 * On the MailPoet Settings page, I can check or uncheck a box that says:
 * > web API
   >  Activate if your SMTP ports are blocked.
 * If it is checked, I get the message shown above. If it is unchecked, I get:

 * The parent (Department of Labor) is a top category. If ERISA is also a top level
   category, and I put them both into the same library (Library 6), it all works
   fine. However, if I make ERISA a subcategory of Department of Labor, the page
   breaks–regardless of whether I leave ERISA in Library 6 or remove it from Library
   6.
