 * Hello,
 * I have been using ITRO for a few days now and it was working great. I installed
   Better WP Security in order to work on the security of my website, and it broke
   the ITRO plugin. After doing some digging, I came to the conclusion that changing
   my Database prefix to anything other than wp_ causes the plugin to stop displaying
   or allowing any changes to data.

 * For now, i located the two itro tables in phpmyadmin and changed those prefixes
   back to wp_. Everything is functioning good now. You might want to research why
   this happening and update the plugin, since it is recommended for security that
   the database prefix be changed.
