 * I am having an issue setting up the plugin on my WPEngine server. I get the following
   error via email from the receiving blog.
 * Here is the error message:
 * “Problem contacting the server. Please confirm your API Username and Password
   are correct. Error: transport error – HTTP status code was not 200 CODE: -32300”
 * Can you help me out?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi
 * There have been some issues with WPEngine in the fact that they have a short 
   timeout for php scripts. If you are trying to push a large number of posts in
   the initial syndication then the scripts can timeout before they are complete.
 * How many posts do you have in your master site? It’s the very first push which
   causes the issue.
 * Some users have gotten around this by first exporting the initial set of posts
   using the WordPress export/import functionality then any future posts syndicate
   without any issue.
