 * Cant connect to API via plugin. No shorturls being generated, – however I can
   generate them via the Yourls admin and also via my google chrome addon.
 * Definite issues right now.

 * Bluehost, wp + yourls same server,
    Yourls installation url correct assuming 
   no trailing slash required. Your plugin WAS working but stopped AFTER recent 
   upgrade.
 * Still getting API 503 error.

 * Another symptom is that the new “Create Yourl” link on the post listing redirects
   me to the yourls installation page.
 * No existing yourls are shown in metaboxes and new yourls are not generated via
   the plugin.- just to clarify.
 * Tried the POST option in the settings – no change. Also tried to switch off the
   auto generation and the generation on save, no change on reloading testing.

 * [@rikk03](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rikk03/) can you email me at norcross
   at reaktivstudios.com ? I want to walk through some debugging steps with you 
   but they involve some things about your install that shouldn’t be public.

 * New bug, clicking on links from the front end of the site redirects to the Yourls
   installation page. First click only for each link, try clicking again then its
   ok the target page loads.

   an example link that’s causing the issue?
