সঘনাই উত্থাপিত প্ৰশ্ন
- Whoa, some of my links don’t work when I have multiple shortcodes on one page/post?
-
Each shortcode is designed to be used just once on a page/post. If you want to have multiple items listed on one page, than I would suggest using the [ios_app_list] shortcode. You can have a comma separated list of items to be displayed.
- I really like the plugin, can I donate to the project?

Why, thank you for asking, of course you can. Just click the donate link.
