 * If wp-config.php is moved outside main wp folder, like the one above, plugin 
   just blinks when told to scan – and error.log hints it cant find wp-config.php.
 * `PHP Fatal error: require_once() [<a href='function.require'>function.require
   </a>]: Failed opening required '../../../wp-config.php' (include_path='.:/opt/
   php53/lib/php`
 * Moving it back in WP folder make everything work.
 * `require_once('../../../wp-config.php');`
 * in pgc-ajax.php is under suspicion.
 * High risk plugin, love it 🙂
