 * It did not work for me. I activated the plugin, clicked the blue button to add
   the pages, went through the settings page and saved. I created a registration
   form, and then a pagee and entered the shortcode for the form. When I clicked
   the save the page, I was greeted with an error message in the middle of the page:
 * This page isn’t working
    studioihsan.com is currently unable to handle this request.
   HTTP ERROR 500
 * This is also what I got when I tried to visit the Edit Page screen of the two
   default pages created when I clicked the blue button. The front end worked fine,
   but this was enough for me to move on.
 * I am not going to leave a review because I don’t have the time to go back and
   forth in support to figure this out and have already found another solution that
   works. I just wanted to point this out. I understand it could simply be a plugin
   conflict and it is not necessarily an issue with your plugin.
 * Good luck with it though. Looks like a nice simple plugin which is the kind I
   like (often registration plugins have way to many features).

 * Hello David Tierney,
 * The plugin should work and working fine. HTTP 500 ERROR might be due to the server
   and the error might be temporary. Glad to know you figured out the solution. 
   If you are still having the issue, we will look out for possible reasons. Thank
   you!
 * Regards,
    WPEverest Support
