eslog

i had to renter the keys for it to function again. But this is not a good methodology. Should be keeping the same stored values as before vs setting new ones.

Maybe the plugin meta store values changed??

SOLUTION: there were extra whitespaces in the functions.php file. After removing these it solved the issue.

Any support on this request? Still not rendering correctly. The XML seems to be there when i view source but want to make sure the visual part is working.

Any ideas?

Yes that is the same link that i just posted above and it seems to work fine. Wish the author would add this feature to the plugin vs doing hacks like this to override.

Other plugins have this feature and would others happy i am sure as well.

I wasn’t able to find a url about this subject before but then stumbled upon this:
