FAQ

Sometimes a confirmation is required after a like. Why?

Read more in this: http://forum.developers.facebook.net/viewtopic.php?id=93201

AWeber (JavaScript) forms do not appear. Why?

Please, use the iframe solutions if possible for now.
It seems when the hidden code contains script tag the script code doesn’t get evaluated/executed.

If I disable the plugin what would happen with the short codes?

When you disable the plugin (that’s within the plugin but the plugin is activate in WordPress) all
the short codes will be removed (visually) but not from the database.
It is recommended to disable the plugin and not deactivate/uninstall it when you don’t need it anymore.
That way you won’t see any unreplaced short tags in your posts.

I bought the Pro version of like gate…..so disappointing! There are some major issues with this plugin which I contacted the developers about several times but unfortunately they didn’t get back to me (via their support page and via email) Quick to take your money but ZERO support 🙁
