 * Hi,
 * first of all thank you for providing the plugin!
 * I just wanted to tell you that the restriction by user doesn’t work if the username
   contains spaces!
 * Also in the description I see that you wrote “The ‘username’ attribute takes 
   any userlogin (username), or multiple, separated either by spaces or commas.”
 * I think this may be the issue since you apparently assume that usernames don’t
   contain spaces.
 * Is there any quick way to resolve this issue?
 * Regards,
    Jonathan

 * ok for now I changed line 155 in eyes-only-user-access-shortcode.php
 * from
 * $users = preg_split(“/[\s,]+/”,$username);
 * into
 * $users = preg_split(“/[,]+/”,$username);
 * But with the next update this will be gone so I’d like to ask you to fix this
   for the next update so I don’t have to worry about it anymore?
 * Thanks,
    Jonathan
