 * I’m having an interesting problem when it comes to this plugin. I’ve tried to
   install this plugin from the administration backend of my site, but when I click
   the “install” button I get a 404 error from my server. Confused about this, I
   decided to download the plugin from the WordPress site directly, and put it onto
   my server via a FTP client software package. The plugin now appears in my plugin
   page, however it is deactivated. When I click the “activate” button, I still 
   get that strange 404 error from my server. I am not having this problem with 
   any other plugin, and have installed a few other plugins since. I’ve also tried
   to download and activate this plugin on separate days, so I don’t think this 
   is a temporary issue. Any ideas? I’ve never seen this problem before!
 * Thanks,
 * Rick
