Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Protected Posts Logout Button

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.

Well, this button is setup to be no intrusive on your theme, so it adapts to the styles that come with you theme. That being said, you can style the button as you wish using a css class you define on the settings page, or add your themes button class.

Well that logout button gets added to the function the_content() but only when the function in_the_loop() returns true (as of version 1.2). if your theme is using apply_filters('the_content', $some_str); it is possible it will show up more than once.
