 * Just tried installing the plugin, but it breaks the backend instead, just leaving
   a white screen. When I delete the plugin folder the backend works again.
 * Anyone else have this problem?

 * Hey Crystal,
 * The plugin is always tested as best as possible using WP Debug, that said bugs
   do happen, the only way to find out the actual cause is to either enable debugging
   or check your servers error logs and report the message here. I would be glad
   to help but this is the first report ive seen.
 * Works great on a fresh install.
