 * in the previous version of the plugin, I could scan from the root directory.
   
   In this new version I can only scan the directory where wordpress is installed.
   If I have wordpress in a folder, I can not scan the upper directory.

 * Actually this is nothing to do with the version, this is a difference between
   installing WordPress in a sub-directory and installing it as a sub-domain. If
   your URL is [http://sub.domain.com](http://sub.domain.com) then my plugin will
   scan the directory WordPress is installed in, but if your URL is [http://domain.com/sub](http://domain.com/sub)
   then my plugin will scan the root directory or your website. It may be that the
   site is installed inside a sub-directory that is inside public_html but WordPress
   does not see it that way. If you have a site that is in the root public_html 
   directory then you can user that site to scan all the other sites inside it.
 * Please let me know if you have any more questions.
 * Aloha, Eli
