Frequently asked questions.
The logout button shows up, but nothing happens when clicked, what’s wrong?
Does your theme have <?php wp_head(); ?> and <?php wp_footer(); ?> installed correctly? This plugin uses some javascript that gets embedded automatically in the header or footer, and requires it to work properly.
