 * Plugin did not work at all for me until I went into Settings > Page Sidebar Settings,
   and then clicked on the Update Settings button.
 * It seems that even though the settings on this page have default values, they
   aren’t actually saved until you click the button.
 * So even though I never touched the default settings themselves, I still had to
   click the update settings button before the plugin started working.
