 * Do shortcodes don’t work on the free version?
 * tried the widget option and i am having issues with the api maybe. i did all 
   the steps including the authentication and did keyserver application to the ip
   server and also did browser application , it doesnt pull and it says either _api
   expired_, or “_REQUEST\_DENIED: This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized
   to use this API key._“
 * or finally this message:
 * **_“Warning: Illegal string offset ‘result’ in /home3/ezchoice/public\_html/wp-
   content/plugins/google-places-reviews/inc/widget-frontend.php on line 33_**
 * Warning: Illegal string offset ‘name’ in /home3/ezchoice/public_html/wp-content/
   plugins/google-places-reviews/inc/widget-frontend.php on line 33
 * Write a review
    There are no reviews yet for this business. Be the first to review”
 * Please advise i won’t purchase the pro if i cant get the widget to work.

 * No shortcode in the free version.
 * I’ve fixed the warnings you displayed in the latest version.
 * The REQUEST_DENIED has to do with an issue with your Google API key. You will
   need to ensure the site you are using the plugin on has the IP logged with Google’s
   API or open up your key to all sites (video coming soon for this).
