 * Hi, I appreciate you taking the time to update me personally.
 * Unfortunately, the new version doesn’t work. Backups won’t go to Dropbox, and
   I get a “fatal error” message from WordPress, although I do not get it in the
   plugin, which claims the backup succeeded, but it’s nowhere to be found in Dropbox.

 * FYI, I finally figured out what the issue is.
 * Your plugin is not compatible with the plugin Admin Menu Manager.
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-menu-manager/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-menu-manager/)
 * When I disable Admin Menu Manager, I can access my settings in MonsterInsights.
 * Yours is the only plugin I’ve used that has this problem.
 * I hope this information will be helpful to someone else and that you can make
   your plugin compatible with Admin Menu Manager, which really helps me organize
   the admin area in ways that make it easier for my clients to manage their WordPress
   sites.

 * If I delete and re-install from scratch, how much data will I lose? Maybe that
   will fix the problem, but I don’t want to lose stats. Are they stored in the 
   database, or are they just stats from google re-interpreted and charted through
   your plugin?

 * I have the same issue here. Had to delete the plugin plus several others updated
   at the same time to get the site to work again. Added back the deleted plugins
   one by one. As soon as I re-activated the Newsletter plugin, site broke again.
   Deleting only newsletter didn’t bring it back. Had to delete all the plugins 
   updated with it to get the site back.

 * I got this issue after the update function in the admin failed and I tried to
   manually update.
 * I think it’s being caused by W3 Total Cache. The issue for me was that I needed
   to disable all plugins by renaming the plugin folder temporarily, but the admin
   refused to work without W3 Total Cache active.
 * So I did the following:
    1. Download a copy of .htaccess (NOTE: this is the .htaccess file from your web
       ROOT) and name it .htaccess.bak. Save it somewhere safe.
    2. Edit the existing .htaccess on the server so that it ONLY contains what is between#
       BEGIN WordPress and # END WordPress.
    3. On your server, go to /wp-content. Rename the plugins folder to plugins.bak
    4. In your browser, go to [http://YOURDOMAIN.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php](http://YOURDOMAIN.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php).
       This should work fine now. Follow prompts, update database.
    5. After database update is successful, rename plugins.bak back to plugins.
    6. Replace the edited .htaccess on your server with the file you saved as .htaccess.
       bak (obviously, rename it back to .htaccess).

 * Aha. I see where you’re going. Yes, the poll question has parentheses () in it.
   Do you think this is causing the problem–that the parentheses are not escaped?
