All is well
Appreciate response from customer service. I should be more patient. I do like the service. This topic was modified 2 years, 11 months ago by beckymash.
Sadly it’s not up to par with the service
The service is great but the plugin to use it in WordPress is TERRIBLE.Don’t know why this huge nonsense, is not loading at all, so is totally useless to have a plugin instead of a simple code to put
Just give me 1 line off code, not a plugin!
Forced too use a plugin? Why? I am not getting more stats. But you are.I need 1 line of code, not a entire plugin. Moving over to Google Analytics, bye! BTW; stop writing fake positive reviews, no
