Hi shannonboh,
You said :
I am also now using 1.6.1
Our current version is 1.7.0.4. Please upgrade. We cannot suport an older version.
It sounds like you are having an issue particular to your setup, and Jason can resolve most of these in a very short time if you sign up for one of our paid support plans.
If you would like more guidance or hands on help implementing this solution with Paid Memberships Pro, please sign up at http://www.paidmembershipspro.com/pricing.
