 * Hello,
   First off I would like to say thank you for making the plugin. It works
   very well and does exactly what it should.I have not bumped into any issues yet
   until today. The settings page is now giving an error message “Error updating
   settings” every time when editing settings and I do not know how to resolve this.
   This does mean however that I am no longer able to edit the settings.Is there
   any way to fix this?Thank you!

 * Hey
   Do you have access to server error logs? It might give a clue why its happening.

 * Also what settings are you trying to edit? Does it save fine when just clicking
   save without making any changes?

 * Hello,
   Thank you for your fast reply! Looking at the logs we dont really see 
   anything that makes it look like its a seatreg errorI have however found the 
   issue, I had HTML in the email template (Which didnt work) but I didnt remove
   it yetAt first the saving of the settings went fine with the HTML in it but the
   plugin added a lot of symbols in the HTML which caused the error to pop upRemoving
   everything from the email template form made the error go awayIt was probably
   something simple like too many characters or somethingThank you!

 * Thank you for sharing your findings. Will create a ticket to prevent this issue
   from occurring in the future.
