 * After the update of the plugin yesterday, I’m now getting the message “This SQL
   Query has not been allowed by an Administrator.” where the sqlgetvar code is 
   on my site.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-message-631%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Yes, I just added this security feature to my plugin because apparently WordPress
   does not have any built-in security on shortcodes and any subscriber would be
   able to construct their own SQL query to do anything they want in your database.
   So now you have to copy the SQL in those sqlgetvar calls that you want to approve
   and you can then paste that SQL into a new report and save the report so that
   only the sqlgetvar calls that you have stored as reports will work.
 * I hope that makes sense and you now understand why this extra step is necessary.
   Please let me know if you have any more questions.
