 * If the plugin is loading the entire database into memory at one time, then it’s
   probably not coded very efficiently. 🙁

 * I’ve just installed the plugin and hit the same white screen of death upon launching
   a “Dry Run”. Haven’t had time to debug it, so not sure what the fix is.

 * Yes, I think it definitely needs some UX work. It’s quite confusing about which
   order you have to click the buttons, and having to click multiple to actually
   apply your settings.
 * It would be great if the plugin actually kept any custom changes in your .htaccess
   without having to copy+paste the custom code into the BPS text fields.

 * It’s not always related to suhosin. PHP 5.3.3 and above has a setting like this
   built-in. The easiest way to resolve is to add the following lines to your .htaccess
   file (in the root of your WordPress folder).
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_php5.c>
         php_value max_input_vars 5000
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * Or you can add them all, just to be sure…
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_php5.c>
         php_value max_input_vars 5000
         php_value suhosin.get.max_vars 5000
         php_value suhosin.post.max_vars 5000
         php_value suhosin.request.max_vars 5000
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * Hope that helps.
 * Simon.

 * I found a fix. Unfortunately the plugin uses old/deprecated MySQL functions instead
   of the WPDB class. One line appeared to get the syncing to work again for me.
 * In /wp-content/plugins/database-sync/functions.php, around line 46
 * CHANGE:
 *     ```
       if (mysql_query($query) === false) {
       ```
   
 * TO:
 *     ```
       global $wpdb;
       if ($wpdb->query($query) === false) {
       ```
   
 * I will try and submit a patch to the author so that the plugin can be fixed in
   the repository.
 * Simon.
