    Hi Anup & Team,

    I really like your widget, but there seem to be some bugs.

    The link to the Option Page to Customize the widget seems to be broken. Also I have tried a few times to send a message to myself and they don’t arrive.

    Cheers

    Judith

    In the installations instructions you say ‘it can be used anywhere within your WordPress site as a link or widget’. How do you used as a link as I want to place it a different spot from my widgets.

    thanks

      Mary,
      To use it separately in your site (but not as widget)
      you can simply add following.

      <a href="#AnupRaj_TellFriends" rel="ARTFbox" style="text-decoration:none;" rel="nofollow">Tell A Friend</a>

      This can be in your footer or header or anywhere.

      Don’t forget the href="#AnupRaj_TellFriends" and rel="ARTFbox" part.

      Thanks

    Hi,

    I would love to use your plugin. Unfortunately, it won’t let me save any settings. Every time I try, I get the following message:

    Error! Options page not found.

    And when this error occurs, the following is in the navigation bar:

    http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/options.php

    If it helps, I am using WordPress MU 2.9.2. Could you please look after this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    I’m trying to use your plugin on this site but even though I’m adding the “wp_footer();” to my footer.php file I am still getting the error message “There was an error loading the document.”

    Is there a specific place in the footer.php file that this additional line needs to go?

    I’d love to get this working so visitors to the site can send email to others who might be interested in joining in the dodgeball fun.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

      Britt,

      “AnupRaj Tell Friends” is WP Plugin that needs wp_footer(); function to be called on footer file.

      The way you called wp_footer(); function in your footer.php file is incorrect. It took lot of time to figure-out problem in your site.

      This is actually PHP function hence you need opening <?php and closing ?> PHP tags. Please consider the following

      <?php
      wp_footer();
      ?>

      Please check your file and place it just before the closing body tag. </body>

      Thanks

    I’m getting a malformed recipient address error. How can I fix this?

    This is an example of the malformed address: lalalala@gmail.comx-mailer

    Seems that there is no space between the x and the email address, is this causing the malformed address error?

    Cheers,
    David
