### 󠀁[Stop spamming](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-spamming-2/)󠁿

 [nakous](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nakous/) March 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](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/facebook-button-stopped-working-1/)󠁿

 [EchosWeb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/echosweb/) September 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.
