Frequently Asked Questions

All of them. Yup, We've not come across a single non-working one yet.

This is a new feature, and is handled differently for various themes. Although tested with a variety of different ones I'm aware that this might not work straight out the box for all users. Please post a support ticket and I'll look into it.
