 * I get an error when test connection with sql server remote server, the error 
   is this
 *     ```
       [08-May-2020 13:37:22 UTC] EXLOG:
       [08-May-2020 13:37:22 UTC] array (

           0 => 'IMSSP',
           'SQLSTATE' => 'IMSSP',
           1 => -49,
           'code' => -49,
           2 => 'This extension requires the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server. Access the following URL to download the ODBC Driver for SQL Server for x64: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=163712',
           'message' => 'This extension requires the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server. Access the following URL to download the ODBC Driver for SQL Server for x64: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=163712',
         ),

 * I read this trhead: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36031782/cant-connect-to-sql-server-from-php](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36031782/cant-connect-to-sql-server-from-php)
   
   also this: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duda-sobre-el-plugin/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duda-sobre-el-plugin/)
 * I activate **sqlsrv** and **pdo_sqlsrv** extensions also.
 * The question is if I need to install the error link in the remote server or is
   a problem with the wordpress/php server?
 * thnks in advance!

 * The wordpress is on a reseller hosting, so, this is not going to work. If the
   customer want to move to a dedicated server. But the plugin is great!
 * Thnks anyway!
