 * [@denm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denm/) – The OP was many 11 months
   ago?!
 * I was recommend starting a new topic as the conditions would be very different
   now if the same issue is indeed still present.
 * Thanks!

 * Thank you, i found why. WordPress has old version of this plugin. It will be 
   hacked. I fix it and update it, thank you.
