 * You are correct about how it works.
 * One of my apps stripped the embedded image data and I missed that. When I downloaded
   the VCF file directly, I see the encoded image data.
 * The option to choose image link or raw data would be a nice-to-have feature, 
   but your implementation works as designed and is functional.
 * Thanks for the great plugin!

 * I skipped 1.6.8 and went straight to 1.7 for the vCard link feature.
 * Everything seems to work as designed.
 * Address components are saved where entered even if preceding blank fields are
   present. Generated vCard file works fine with my apps that read VCF format.
 * Thanks again for the quick update!

 * I skipped 1.6.8 and went straight to 1.7 for the vCard link feature.
 * Everything seems to work as designed.
 * Fwiw, the embedded logo can’t have a transparent background, and I had to increase
   the correction level from L (7%) to M (15%) for the QR codes to work with my 
   test logo.
 * Thanks again for the quick update!

 * Upon closer inspection, I realized that the card Photo URL is encoded in the 
   big QR Code generated from the vCard, and is included with both PHOTO and LOGO
   tags.
 * But neither of those tags appear in the generated VCF link data returned.
 * I am hoping this is just an oversight.
 * Thanks

 * The new version works great!
 * I expected a toggle to choose between raw vCard embedding and link to VCF file,
   but your implementation of providing both is even better.
 * Thanks for the quick enhancement!

 * The ZIP plugin appears to have resolved my problem. I will try again from the
   WP plugin repository once the update is posted.
 * Now I will try to make sense of this for my needs.

 * Hi Peter,
 * Requested info is below.
 * In case you want to try to replicate my configuration, I just downloaded the 
   latest Bitnami WordPress VM image ([https://bitnami.com/redirect/to/636028/bitnami-wordpress-5.2.2-3-linux-debian-9-x86_64.ova](https://bitnami.com/redirect/to/636028/bitnami-wordpress-5.2.2-3-linux-debian-9-x86_64.ova))
   and more or less installed WP Data Access into an otherwise empty WordPress installation.
 * As there is nothing personal or sensitive in this installation, I am happy to
   post the image file somewhere for you to retrieve if that will save you any time.
 * Please let me know if you need anything else.
 * Thanks,
 * John

 * Hi Peter,
 * Also to answer your question about the links, yes I do see both the manage and
   explore links for the tables.
 * If I click on the ‘Manage’ link I get the message ‘ERROR: Invalid table name 
   or not authorized’ (I assumed this was because of the blank table name.
 * If I click on the ‘Explore’ link I get a warning pop-up that says ‘You are about
   to edit a table of an external application! Changing this table might result 
   in corrupting the external database. Are you sure you want to continue?’
 * When I continue, the page reloads but does not otherwise change.
 * Thanks,
 * John

 * Hi Peter,
 * I don’t see how to post an attachment.
 * The columns in the Data Explorer without any data are:
    ‘Name’ ‘Creation Date’‘#
   Rows’ ‘Increment’ ‘Engine’ ‘Collation’
 * Conversely, the columns with data are:
    ‘Type’ ‘Data Size’ ‘Index Size’ ‘Overhead’(
   all Overhead values ‘0.00 bytes’)
 * Thanks,

 * And one other thing.
 * I am still getting the loopback error reported, but since adding the rewrite 
   rule the test without plugins is successful.
 *     ```
       The loopback request to your site failed, this may prevent WP_Cron from working, along with theme and plugin editors.<br>Error encountered: (0) cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received
   
        Result from testing without any plugins active and a default theme: The loopback request to your site completed successfully.
       ```
   
 * The ‘Test individual plugins’ option revealed that the WP-Donate plugin was breaking
   WP_Cron. I disabled this plugin and now the Health Check reports the loopback
   request as successful.
 * Thanks

 * Hi Marius,
 * I added the Apache rewrite rule from my message to Ross above to my WordPress
   site and that seems to have resolved ‘Troubleshoot’ issue.
 * This fix is obviously tied to the AWS load balancer implementation and won’t 
   necessarily work with other load balancers or proxies.
 * As an idea, you may be able to save the HTTPS environment variable before enabling
   troubleshooting mode and then set it to the saved value early in your code (if
   that’s not too late for WordPress purposes).
 * So, I am personally good, but I am interested in whatever you end up doing.
 * Best wishes,
 * John
