URL with = in it threw an error and prevented the plugin from loading

[itsTEOTWAWKI]

When adding /donate with this plugin, I received the error below, using this URL: https://hosthavoc.com/billing/index.php?m=public_pay&hash_id=31Y8ZWYGBdQr

I used Bitly to shorten the URL and eliminate the = (which appears to be the issue cited in the error) and the plugin functions normally. I would prefer to use the actual link as it is more trustworthy than a shortened link that leaves the true destination a mystery until you click it.

try that link, i replaced the & and = with the xml escape charater equiviant (got the codes for the escape charaters from here https://www.dvteclipse.com/documentation/svlinter/How_to_use_special_characters_in_XML.3F.html#gsc.tab=0)

Looks like escaping the URL did the trick! I should have thought of that myself :)
