 * Installed the plugin,
 * done a dry run to search “src=”[http://1-ps.googleusercontent.com/hk/N7MgqQe61PieTxdAHj4St7PAZ5/www.gstatic.com/psa/static/1.gif”&#8221](http://1-ps.googleusercontent.com/hk/N7MgqQe61PieTxdAHj4St7PAZ5/www.gstatic.com/psa/static/1.gif”&#8221);
   in every post content ( wp_post )
 * the browser tab icon show it is “running”
 * then after a while, got redirected to:
 * [http://www.example.com/wp-admin/admin-post.php](http://www.example.com/wp-admin/admin-post.php)
 * and get an “error 404, not found” response

 * Hi,
 * Can you please confirm if this occurring with the latest version (1.2.1)?

 * Plugin is completely broken since last release (current release). Only one table
   can be selected at a time. You can no longer key ‘ctl’ ‘down’ to highlight every
   table. The previous version was much, much better.

 * [@toggerybob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toggerybob/) Can you please
   confirm your browser and if selecting multiple via shift click works for you?
 * Nothing was changed this release in regards to the select list, which is just
   a standard HTML select. I tested in multiple browsers and it’s working for me.
 * [@aprokopenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aprokopenko/) Can you also
   confirm your browser and your host as well?

 * Wow! It works now. First time since I’ve had the laptop. Maybe Windows 10 fixed
   it?

 * Please disregard previous comment. That was intended for another ticket.

 * Using most current version of Firefox. I’ll try Chrome here in a minute.

 * [@toggerybob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toggerybob/) So it’s still 
   not working for you?
 * If not, can you confirm the browser you’re currently using? Also if you could
   send the debug info in an email to [support@expandedfronts.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-redirecting-to-wp-adminadmin-postphp-with-error-404/support@expandedfronts.com?output_format=md)
   that would be great.
 * Edited to add: You beat me to it- I see now you’re using Firefox. Please let 
   me know the results on Chrome so we can determine if just a browser issue or 
   if a plugin/server conflict.

 * Works much better on Chrome on my Samsung Galaxy S2 tablet

 * Great, so it does seem like a browser issue with Firefox. On Firefox I’m able
   to select multiple tables with Shift + Click, but CTRL + A highlights the whole
   page instead.
 * I will test on some other computers as well and see if we can implement a fix
   on the plugin’s side.

 * [@matt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matt/),
 * I’m using my local dev server Apache 2.4.7, PHP 5.5 on my Ubuntu 14.04.
    My host
   was like [http://wp.localhost.pers/project](http://wp.localhost.pers/project)
 * I’m using Firefox latest version for development. My current version is Firefox
   41.0.
 * Also my WordPress is placed not in root folder and separated in folder like [http://wp.localhost.pers/project/wp](http://wp.localhost.pers/project/wp)
