 * The plugin works as described when I use the default WP theme. However, as soon
   as I enable my custom theme (Vertex from Shape 5), non-admin users see the site
   under development. Any ideas?

 * Hey John. Thanks for the reply. Below is the download link to the free theme.
   You may have to sign up for a free membership to download the file.

 * Alternatively, I can try to enable the plugin on one of my unpublished multi-
   site sub-domains where I plan to use the same theme.
 * Thanks,

 * FYI, I have enabled the plugin on two of my sites.
 * [http://fischegroups.org](http://fischegroups.org) with default WP theme active–
   works
    [http://fische.fischegroups.org](http://fische.fischegroups.org) – with
   custom Shape5 theme active – does not work
 * Thanks,

 * I just tested and had no problem using that theme and the plugin.
 * No sure why it’s not working on your host?
