    and searching for PicTips.

    editor, click it to add a PicTip.

## FAQ

  Q. Plugin Not Working?

A. Ensure that both PicTips and the PicTips style pack are Activated on the Plugins

page.

  Q. An extra line is displayed before a PicTip?

A. On some content, PicTips appear on a new line. This is a known issue with
 WordPress.
For best results, add PicTips at the start of a new line. Ensure that all fields
are completed when you add a PicTip, missing information may mean the PicTip does
not appear.

  Q. An error message is displayed instead of a PicTip?

A. If a PicTip appears with a cannot load image message, this means that the Image

URL for the PicTip is invalid, check and retry.

  Q. Something else?

A. If you are still having issues, please ask a question on the support forum, providing
a link to
 your site and as much detail about the symptoms as possible.
