= No changes on activation/deactivation = |
| 78 |
- If you have installed any caching plugins then clear the cache. |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
= LoftLoader doesn’t work properly = |
| 81 |
- If your site is using a cache/performance optimization plugin, it might move all JavaScript on your site into the footer of your page. But the JavaScript of LoftLoader needs to be put in the < head > of a page so it can be executed as soon as possible. Many cache/performance optimization plugins have the “exclude” feature which allows to skip some code/files from being aggregated and minimized. To solve this kind of problem, please exclude files of LoftLoader. |
