 * Hi there!
 * Your plugin is great, and almost everything works perfectly. I just have one 
   bug to report.
   When I select “Quentin Nussbaumer” as author, “Robert Frund” appears.
   Can you tell me why and how to solve this problem?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * I don’t mind if you take care of this problem for me, I just bought the pro license.
