Not working
Trying to add my account I get the error "Sorry, this is not a valid account!" Funny, as I'm in the other tab connected to this account on buymecoffee. Shame.

Customize Widget
The plugin doesn't allow to customize widget where I can show it. It shows on every page and blog posts. I'd like to hide it on my pages and show it only on my blog posts.

Doesn't work in 6.6
After adding plugin, could not configure, did not show up in widgets in WP 6.6 Removed plugin and just used the button HTML instead.

This was a disaster
Tried it on two of my sites. First one, it failed to activate, multiple php errors. Second one it installed, but the widget couldn't be placed where i wanted it, so it was behind things, the button never showed up anywhere. Then I noticed it hasn't been updated in months and is untested with the latest version of WordPress. I uninstalled it on both sites.
