 * I’ve tried several times to activate this plugin, but always with the same results.
   Is there any support being provided for it?

 * Hi rwwood,
 *  Sorry for the delay.
 *  What version of WordPress are you using? What OS does WordPress run on? What
   is the browser and version no?
 * Thank you

 * Sorry, I didn’t see that someone had replied.
 * I’m using WP 3.0 and it’s running on one of BlueHosts servers, which are Linux
   boxes. I’m using FireFox 3.6.4 to which I just upgraded this morning. I haven’t
   tried installing the plugin since.
 * Thanks.

 * I haven’t tested the plugin on Linux recently. But I have tested it on WordPress
   3.0 and Firefox 3.6.4 on Windows XP/Vista/7.
 * So let me test it out on Linux Fedora and CentOS. I will keep you informed.

 * Hi,
 *  I tested the plugin on Linux Fedora and found that the plugin wasn’t loading
   on WordPress. A php file was malformed. So, I was getting “Cannot modify header
   information – headers already sent by (output started at…”. I believe you were
   experiencing the same issue.
 *  I have fixed the bug and the updated plugin (v1.2) may be downloaded at [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smartlinker/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smartlinker/).
 *  I appreciate your help in reporting this bug. Please let me know if it still
   doesn’t work.
 * Thank you.
