For some weird reason, certain site settings are coming out as `undefined` where I use the following call from within my plugin:
```plaintext
var siteSettings = api.container.lookup('site-settings:main');
console.log(siteSettings.myplugin_popup_permalink); // => undefined!
```
I’ve checked and double-checked (and even triple-checked) the syntax in my `setting.yml` file and everything looks just fine.
```plaintext
plugins:
...
myplugin_popup_permalink:
default: false
client: false
...
```
Is there something obvious that I’ve overlooked or a known bug for this?
Thanks in advance for the help.

You’ve set `client: false` which means the site setting is not available in the client (Ember) app.

Jeez, I must look pretty stupid. I thought that that was the default value for the client, not whethet or not it’s available for the client. Wrong! Thanks for setting me on the right path again.
