 * Jack,
 * I totally gave up on Clef. A very cool concept but, without support, it is worse
   than useless. Particularly when both support entities point the finger at the
   other.
 * rant begin
 * In addition, from my perspective, WordPress lacks the necessary mechanisms to
   ensure that all of its plugins work. Yes, it is the plugin author’s responsibility
   to support the plugin, but it is ultimately WordPress’s issue.
 * Likewise, when Godday put WordPress on its site, it is ultimately Godaddy’s responsibility.
 * This is today’s sad state of affairs in that app authors/designers are just too
   cool to bother with some lowly task as support and blame the end user for their
   ignorance because, to the author, it is intuitively obvious and their code is
   perfect. Another lowly task that is totally ignored for the same reason is documentation.
 * Godaddy and WordPress should improve their standards for allowing third party
   applications.
 * rant end

 * Is “a while back” further back than 26 August, because that is when I installed
   WordPress (4.6.1) and CLEF (I don’t know what version I had)?
 * If it is, then the bug is that an installation through Godaddy is not loading
   the correct versions.
 * Thanks for the advice, Laurance! Unfortunately my current situation makes it 
   imprudent to make changes to a functioning system.
 * Gregg

 * I have spent two or three days with this bug. Godaddy tech support advised me
   to disable clef until the problem is fixed.
 * I tried four ways to set my password:
    1) through Godaddy’s cPanel (hosting –
   > applications –> myapplications –>edit 2) through WordPress’s dashboard –> profile
   3) through the “lost password” (never received and email 4) having Godaddy change
   the password. None were successful.
 * The workaround was to disable clef.
 * Let me know when it is fixed.
