Outstanding!
by Tony·6 years ago
Incredibly easy to setup. I am using ‘Cresta Social Share Counter’ on both my websites. Thanks for creating this useful plugin.
Foolish plugin, It destroyed my website value
by shri9119·6 years ago·1 reply
a week ago my article shows 2K shares & after plugin update suddenly it start showing only 200 shares. One article which got 500+ shares now showing only 1 share. This plugin has completely destroyed value of my website.
Completely foolish plugin. If they are doing this to earn money then this is malpractice. WordPress must remove such plugin from list.
ASSISTENZA OTTIMA
