    The only I’ve seen that when WordPress has stale cookies. Try logging out and back in and then try it again. There hasn’t been any changes to how Email Users saves settings in a couple of years.

    Mike,
    No love. I even tried a different browser.

    I’m testing this on my local dev environment (Mac). Does the save function touch any files within the plugin directory or just touch the db itself?

    On a side note, I never received notification that you answered me…sorry it took so long to reply back.

    The Save operation uses the WordPress API to save settings to the database. It does not touch any of the files. The message you are seeing is due to a bad NONCE (number used once) which is a WordPress security feature which plugins use to ensure the operation is legitimate.

    There is a post on WpBeginner.com on how to find the source of this problem. I do not think it is a Email Users plugin issue.

    Mike,

    Yes, I too do not believe that Email Users is the problem…sorry for the assumption.

    Based on the link you provided, I Googled it a little further and found this post. I added the check_admin_referer method, as given, but it still gave me trouble. I then used the last solution offered on that page…basically returning true for the function…of course that worked.

    Since this is on my dev server I’m going with that for right now. However, I can’t figure out what the actual problem is.

    Thanks for guiding me in the right direction and sorry for the hassle.

    Tom
