I am able to activate the plugin, but I cannot check the settings boxes. When saving they automatically undo. The new field to add an image to a tag works on the tagging page, and I can see that the featured image has been added to the tag. But the website displays nothing and the lack of checked boxes on the settings page doesn't leave me filled with confidence. The spelling errors are poor, too.
