 * Todays tip
 * Turn off your, for example, WP Maintenance plugin when using WP/LR or else you
   might see the WP/LR Sync error where it says that the connection to your website
   works but LR cannot communicate with it.
 * After turning it off, if you have done the other fixes suggested by the plugin
   FAQ to avoid this issue, it works without problems!
 * Hmmm. I discovered this today!
 * Sharing it with the community!
 * Goodbye

 * Hello Thomas,
 * Mmm, actually it’s a bit more complex than that 🙂 Any plugin that fails or display
   an error will actually stop WP/LR Sync to work properly. So it’s not only Maintenance
   mode plugin but any plugin that displays errors or breaks during normal runtime.
   I have been thinking of a way to catch those errors and display them properly,
   unfortunately too many times it looks like WP/LR Sync is failing as it is another
   plugin. The best way is to check the PHP error logs, that is the best 🙂
