 * Hello,
 * for the past 5-6 days the free version of the plugin stopped working and instead
   it outputs a 403 forbidden page and does not login ANY user (even the administrator).
 * I placed the widget in various places but it had the same behaviour. I updated
   in the newest version and returned all options to the most basic of forms, but
   to no avail.
 * For your convenience I provide you the link and a simple user name and password
   so you can try it out:
 * [http://tinyurl.com/zjvbk2u](http://tinyurl.com/zjvbk2u)
 * username : TestSubscriber
    password : 123456
 * Thank you for your time and your plugin (so far it did a perfect job !).
 * P.s.
    (in case tinyurl link doesn’t work, this is the link : [http://www.palmosev.gr/palmos/%CE%B7%CE%BB%CE%B5%CE%BA%CF%84%CF%81%CE%BF%CE%BD%CE%B9%CE%BA%CF%8C-%CF%84%CE%B5%CF%8D%CF%87%CE%BF%CF%82](http://www.palmosev.gr/palmos/%CE%B7%CE%BB%CE%B5%CE%BA%CF%84%CF%81%CE%BF%CE%BD%CE%B9%CE%BA%CF%8C-%CF%84%CE%B5%CF%8D%CF%87%CE%BF%CF%82))
   it contains greek characters that is why it looks like that. I tried placing 
   the plugin in a page with standard english characters, still got the same problem.
 * p.s.2
    I forgot to add that I tried the compatibility option. No luck. Currently
   the option is disabled so that no other addon intereferes with it.

 * I think the issue is with the URL redirect.
    It is causing because there are 
   special chars in the URL [http://www.palmosev.gr/palmos/ηλεκτρονικό-τεύχος](http://www.palmosev.gr/palmos/ηλεκτρονικό-τεύχος)
 * Can you please try by changing the page slug to something else like
