FB display is a gray box with text

Jason September 3, 2016 1 reply

Setup was very easy, but the Frontend display needs some redesign for me to want to use this. It only shows a gray box with the text of your latest status update. No images, doesn’t seem to be responsive, used its own font. Didn’t gel at all with the rest of the design I’d done. I didn’t even look at the Twitter option. If this gets updated so I can customize the look more and have it use inherited design elements I will consider again since setup was so easy!
