Shortcode not working, confusing options

    Thanks for the great plugin, it worked just fine before but now all that shows is a shortcode, please see here:

    I went to “Technical” to try to turn it on but knowing when the option is on and off is VERY confusing, I advise you guys to think of a better UX design for this, radio buttons with Off and On would be more UX friendly than what you currently have so please consider this.

    This is what I have now:

    I have the menu set to only appear at 414px but it shows the shortcode on desktop and on mobile it’s also just the shortcode.

    Working from localhost, this worked till I updated 2.8.7 to latest version

    Figured it out, there was major update in the shortcode args so had to replace with the correct shortcode.

    The issue with knowing when an option is off and on still exists so please consider this.

    Hey there,

    As per the upgrade notes the Shortcode has been changed to responsive_menu (underscore instead of the hyphen) since the version 3 release for better WordPress compatibility, as such please update the shortcode and all will be fine.

    I am not sure about the UX issue as this is the first I have heard of anyone having a problem with it. It is very simple and I went through many iterations of the best usability and this was decided as the best version.

    If it says ON then it is on and if it says OFF then it is off and is also colour coded for green being on and red being off. I’m not sure how to make it anymore user friendly than that but if you have any ideas I’m more than willing to listen to them.

    Hope that helps!

    “On” can also mean “Click to turn on” and “Off” can also mean “Click to turn off” currently you have it vice versa. Different devs use this differently so someone coming from other plugins would have a totally backwards mentality.

    Maybe you can add a little JS to:

    -Show a tooltip on hover saying the current state
    -Add a toast when the option is clicked saying it’s state

    Or you can simply just add some html next to the option and replace it with JS when the sate is changed

    Hey there,

    Thanks for the useful ideas, I will surely take these on board and take another look at it for the next release.

    Thanks again and have a great weekend!
