Your plugin looks like it might be really useful to me.

Is it possible to turn this on just for some products? Or does it have to be on for all products in the store?

Problem solved. Looks like it was a firewall issue after all at my WP host. They didn’t realize that my account returned to their default “no remote access”, probably after a recent update at their end.

Thanks for your help … amazingly quick response too!

I would have guessed the only issue would be firewall blocks on the host mySQL server – not on the server where my WP installation resides. I’ve demonstrated that’s not the case by accessing it from home via Sequel Pro. It also confirmed that my settings are correct.

So the only issue seems to be the firewall where my WP installation resides. Perhaps there’s a need for them to whitelist the IP address for my mySQL host because there’s two-way communication?

I’ve contacted my WP host; they seem to believe it’s not their firewall but from everything I see, that has to be the issue.

Frustrating!

I’m not even getting to the password request stage. I’m getting a failure to connect message:

Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at

However, the same credentials work for Sequel Pro. Frustrating!

Could there be some kind of firewall setting at the host that would prevent traffic between the server and my WP files?
