 * The plugin has a lot of option, but it is still really simple and effective.
   
   Hopefully a fix soon for the JSON API issue.

 * Why don’t you contact us on the support forum, explain what’s happening then 
   we can work to resolve it?
 * For any one that reads this “review”, we were not contacted for support on this
   issue before this statement was made.
    **This is not a review.**

 * I think my explanation is pretty clear, it blocks the JSON API plugin.
    **This
   is a review** If the problem is fixed i can give 5 stars.

 * Yep, most people post in the support section. There we can discuss, people provide
   more information, and I look to try and fix it based on that info.
    You have 
   given me nothing to help me work on this. The more you can help developers narrow
   down on problems, and aid their work, the better off we all are. You didn’t review
   the plugin, you stated something that doesn’t work for you, which is perfectly
   natural with new tech (like the API) and firewalls/security code.
 * Instead of helping, you take a cheap 1* shot in the face of countless amount 
   of work and effort that has already gone into a plugin that provides loads of
   functionality and features. Somehow compatibility with a completely separate 
   and 3rd party plugin, which is to be released to Core and hasn’t even gone into
   the final public release yet, takes full precedence and thereby deserves an overall
   1*.
 * Stand your ground all you will, but no, **this is not a review** – it is a request
   for support “and you’ll only get 5*s if you fix it!”, and while your title is
   clear, there’s zero explanation and no help forthcoming from you.

 * Okay maybe I reacted exaggerated.
    I had to put in a password and when I did 
   it said is was wrong the whole time and that was pissing me off because I could
   not fix it. I am sorry.

 * Dude, I appreciate and I hope we can get this fixed… I will want to work with
   the API too, so anything you can share would be good. If you tell me the point
   at which you’re hitting trouble I’ll dig in and find it.

   Please feel free to add any more info and I’ll take a look and hopefully we can
   get to the bottom of it.
