<p class="">the plugin is so full of bloated code and so unstable that you cannot rely on it! I have tested in a production website on the insistence from the marketing team that it will solve all our "data inconsistencies" by installing and configuring this plugin; at first it was everything great, for the first few days there were no errors, the client could start his ads and track performance, but out of the blue (no change in code, server, anything) the events started to not work properly and the TikTok pixel helper reports that advanced matching is disable in platform 🫠 wth is this? you can't be serious with this type of integration? In 3 days without anyone doing anything it randomly breaks!</p>



<p class="">nb. latest core & wc, simple pen store setup.</p>

(updated) got it to work, but after 3 days it does not work anymore


Once set, during the work of editing a page or a post, it generates 'PHP Fatal Error'.
