 * Hi, just installed your plugin and the first setting I try to same gave me a 
   403 error. On the second try, locked my site. Thinking it could be conflicting
   with another plugin, created a fresh WordPress install, added and activated the
   plugin, same result. Looked for a fix, applied the one you provided in an earlier
   post, again, same result. Anything else you can suggest I try? Don’t want to 
   give up just now. Thanks.

 * Greetings,
 * I guess you tried:

 * Right?
 * Something is locking you out, but most likely it’s just storing a cookie in your
   browser. If you either clear your cookies or use an incognito/private browser
   session, you’ll be able to login again.

 * Hi,
 * Yes, I tried the proposed fix but got the same result. Just saving the change
   would give me a 403 error.
 * In order to be able to modify the settings, I had to change it directly in the
   config file through CPanel.
 * Even then, just clicking on save without making any changes would still give 
   me a 403 error.
 * The lockout happens when I try to often to fast. Then I have to get in touch 
   with my hosting provider to remove the lock on my IP.

 * Yes, if the lock out arises after saving too often too fast, then it should be
   something specifically related with the hosting provider.
 * Regards
