• Instagram
• Twitter
• Flickr
• Youtube
• Last.fm
• Location

Requirements.

Got it to work!

Plugin is amazing after you figure out how to work. 5 stars is not enough!

Worst. SOftware. Ever.

If I could give this software a zero, I would. It does not function as advertised. When I purchased the “latest” version (MarcoPolo 3.0) Facebook integration was broken and it took several weeks of writing to the author with no response before I finally got an answer and then several more weeks before a new version was released. And still the software didn’t work. Add to that, that when I bought the software, and had an issue with PayPal payment, I got an immediate response. DO NOT USE this software at all.

wordpress should delete this plugin

No support, wasting money

Great Idea – Don't Touch Plugin!

wilfil February 7, 2017

In principle this plugin is a great idea. But it doesn’t work! I purchased the premium plugin but it broke CSS in the side widget and left the Foursquare icon in the activity stream event after I had turned off the Foursquare module. It also doesn’t work either with the BuddyPress Activity Plus plugin. What was really annoying was the non response from the developers after I tried to sort out the issue with them. I was even prepared to stump up some money to provide additional functionality. Even though they promise a 48 hour response on the premium plugin I was still waiting for a response weeks later. In the end, I had to raise a grievance through PayPal and they have now refunded my money. VERY DISAPPOINTED AND A LESSON LEARNT – ALWAYS READ THE REVIEWS!
