I’ve also run into situations where something just shows up as “not working” without any clear error message, so I get the frustration. What usually helps me is breaking things down step by step and testing smaller changes to see what triggers the issue.
I actually running a project outside of plugins — Fashionismic
, and sometimes even a simple change (like adjusting a step in the textured fringe tutorial) makes all the difference in the final result. The same applies here: sometimes it’s not the whole plugin that’s broken, but a detail in settings or conflicts with another element.
Have you tried switching themes temporarily or disabling other plugins to see if it works in a clean setup? That might narrow it down quickly.
