After support notified me of the existence of the tiktok follow (as stated and which by mistake I had not found) I changed the review to 5 stars. The plugin does what it’s supposed to
very good
A very good plugin and easy to use. It gives me what I was looking for. I recommend this plugin with confidence. Thank you very much!
Banner in Admin
Hello, after installing the plugin, a sticky banner appears in the admin area, and there is no way of getting rid of it. Is this intentional? If there is a way to remove it I will change my review.
