 * Hi,
    The plugin theme might interfere with a plugin option, try to disable one
   by one and see which one produce the issue, might be the custom upload url.
 * Which is the theme name? If i can get it, i can give it a try from this side.
 * Thanks

 * Regard!

 * [@dnikola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dnikola/) Please do not offer 
   anyone any access to any environment, even if it is a dev or staging environment.
 * Plugin developers who accept that offer risk having their plugins removed from
   this site. It is that serious.
 * Had the author made that ask (I know they didn’t) this would be the reply and
   they would be flagged.
 * While I know you have the best of intentions, it’s forum policy that you _not_
   ask users for admin or server access. Users on the forums aren’t your customers,
   they’re your open source collaborators, and requesting that kind of access can
   put you and them at high risk.
 * If they _are_ paying customers (such as people who bought a premium service/product
   from you) then by all means, direct them to your official customer support system.
   But in all other cases, you need to help them here on the forums.
 * Thankfully are other ways to get information you need:
    - Ask the user to install the [Health Check plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/health-check/)
      and get the data that way.
    - Ask for a link to the [http://pastebin.com/](http://pastebin.com/) or [https://gist.github.com](https://gist.github.com)
      log of the user’s web server error log.
    - Ask the user to create and post a link to their `phpinfo();` output.
    - Walk the user through [enabling WP_DEBUG and how to log that output to a file and how to share that file.](https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/)
    - Walk the user through basic troubleshooting steps such and disabling all other
      plugins, clear their cache and cookies and try again (the Health Check plugin
      can do this without impacting any site vistors).
    - Ask the user for the step-by-step directions on how they can reproduce the
      problem.
 * You get the idea.
 * We know volunteer support is not easy, and this guideline can feel needlessly
   restrictive. It’s actually there to protect you as much as end users. Should 
   their site be hacked or have any issues after you accessed it, you could be held
   legally liable for damages. In addition, it’s difficult for end users to know
   the difference between helpful developers and people with malicious intentions.
   Because of that, we rely on plugin developers and long-standing volunteers (like
   you) to help us and uphold this particular guideline.
 * When you help users _here_ and in public, you also help the next person with 
   the same problem. They’ll be able to read the debugging and solution and educate
   themselves. That’s how we get the next generation of developers.

 * Hi Jan,
 * thanks for your kind replay!
    I understand your replay, but i had conversation
   over email with plugin author where i purchased and paid version before so just
   replayed because I wanted to notify author that same person is in touch. I didn’t
   want to close ticket as resolved because as you also told, want to help next 
   users with same problem.
 * Regards
    Nikola

 * > where i purchased and paid version
 * That makes it much easer. Customers cannot be supported in these forums and the
   plugin developer knows that.
 * For pro or commercial product support please contact the developer directly on
   their site. This includes any pre-sales topics as well.
 * As the developer is aware, commercial products are [not supported in these forums](https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/#do-not-post-about-commercial-products).
   I am sure they will have no problem supporting you there.
