 * Hi,
 * There’s a define on line 15 of ajax.php which is causing an error for me. On 
   local I define this up-front to avoid too much DB wrangling, so when the plugin
   redefines it I get a Notice level error, which (because I’m local and have WP_DEBUG
   true) breaks the resulting JS file.
 * Simple fix:
 *     ```
       if (!defined('WP_PLUGIN_DIR')) {
           define( 'WP_PLUGIN_DIR', WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/plugins' ); // full path, no trailing slash
       }
       ```
   
 * I’ve put this in my local copy but would be great if you could merge it into 
   the plugin so my ridiculous edge-case don’t get clobbered with the next upgrade?
 * Ta very much!
 * ( Couldn’t find how to send a pull request!)

 * Hi bjrhodes
 * So sorry about this.
 * Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I will make sure that there is 
   a check for this in place in the next update we release.
