 * _“How do you know that the error wasn’t yours?”_
 * One of the biggest red flags that indicate **bad UX** is blaming your users.
 * I shouldn’t need a guided tour from the developer and hand-holding. **Basic functionality**
   should be straightforward and work without fuss or trouble.
 * I don’t want support. I want the **plugin to do what it advertises to do**. If
   it can’t do what it advertises, then it shouldn’t advertise it.
 * This review is to warn other users that “it’s not all roses.” Because for me,
   based on reviews, I started installing this thing and the mere act of installing
   it hijacked my “/podcast” slug. There’s no reasonable expectation to have pre-
   existing pages and slugs be deformed by a plugin during install.
 * This is poor design, this is poor implementation, this is bad UX. This is not
   a good plugin.

 * Directory (and all sub-directories) permissions are set to 777. This did not 
   resolve the issue. Also, other plugins install without trouble.
 * Manual install seemed to work.
