 * Hello
    We try to insert your shorcod to our theme, we did
 * <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[apsl-login-lite login_text=’Social Connection’]’);?
   >
 * on our theme file which is a PHP but not working, php error_log shows
 * PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘login_text’ (T_STRING), expecting ‘]’
 * in the meantime we tried short code from another plugin “wp social plugin”, it
   shows up fine but its function is missing we do not want to use it
 * any idea why please?
 * thanks!
