 * Great plugin – up and running in no time and works like a charm 🙂
 * One misleading piece of info in the plugin settings though:
 * The check box for “user registration” says “Automatically register new users (
   Users will be registered with the role of Subscriber.)”
 * However, the default role is actually set to “Author” (BIG difference). This 
   is seen in the plugin’s php file on line 197:
 * $user_info[‘role’] = “author”;
 * …so either the plugin code should be changed to “subscriber”, or the settings
   text needs to reflect that role is set to “Author”.
 * Thanks again for the great plugin!
