 * Hi – I’d love to try your plugin, but when I activate it and click on settings
   I get the error message: Cannot load wp-smartcrop
 * I’ve tried on 3 different sites and it happens every time. Is this a temporary
   thing or is the plugin not working? Or is there another way I could access the
   settings?
 * Thanks
 * Vik

 * can you let me know what version of PHP you’re running?
 * in any event, the settings page is actually unneccessary for the usage of smartcrop.
   you can enable smartcropping on any image in the media library, right from the
   details view. It’s worth checking out [http://www.wpsmartcrop.com/how-does-it-work/](http://www.wpsmartcrop.com/how-does-it-work/)

 * I have the same problem. PHP version is 7.0.13.

 * ah, finally realized the issue is with the quick-link to settings on the plugins
   page, rather than the settings page itself (under tools). This should be solved
   in the new version I just pushed.
