Stop spamming

nakous Mar 30, 2021
Every time I click the checkbox in the settings page, this plugin opens a new window with the plugin website, they use the javascript event to open a new link after clicking anywhere which bothers the administrator

Facebook button stopped working

EchosWeb Sep 3, 2016
All of a sudden the button to share on Facebook stopped working. No notice, no update to correct this. That's one of the things I most want people to be able to do! I'm furious and am going to get rid of this plugin and try something else.

great plugin
