 * I just set up a fresh install of WordPress 3.9.1 and installed your plugin (1.5.4.9).
 * Out of the box it works perfectly, but as soon as I tried to add new fields it
   no longer wanted to work.
 * Under the Participants Fields I put in a new Field Title and clicked on Add Field.
   The Field was added and I clicked on update to save the settings. Under Title
   my new field title was there, but under Name it was blank. As soon as I saved
   my Sign Up form no longer worked and when I went to List Participants it said
   Records Found but I did not display any of them (it did before the problems).
 * Your plugin is just what I need to use for our client’s website and I really 
   want to use it!!!
 * Please help!!!

 * OK, I’ve never seen this happen, but I’m guessing it’s some kind of javascript
   conflict in the admin side. Now your database is corrupted with an illegal field
   name, so the plugin won’t work. If you can edit the database directly, you can
   restore it by fixing the name of the field both in the participants_database_fields
   table and the column in the participants_database table.
 * Or, you can delete the plugin and start over. The database will be rebuilt when
   you reactivate the plugin.
 * The problem may be a fairly technical one where your PHP is not compiled with
   the ability to use Unicode properties in a regular expression. (some hosts use
   this configuration) I suggest you contact your web host and ask them to make 
   sure that “PCRE is compiled with –enable-unicode-properties”
 * If this is not possible I can suggest a workaround, but I don’t recommend going
   that way.
