While older plugins will still work, they will not be updated moving forward, so it's recommended that you deactivate these and activate Livefyre Apps to continue using their functionality and receive the latest updates from Livefyre moving forward. Over time, older plugins will no longer be supported. *Do I have to activate and use all Livefyre Apps on my blog?* No. All available Livefyre Apps can be toggled on or off at any time with this plugin, allowing you to use them in any combination needed. *Do Sidenotes count as comments that sync to the WordPress database?* No. Sidenotes are connected to the content on the page, and do not sync with or replace WordPress’ default comments. Unlike Livefyre Comments, you will not see Sidenotes data go into your WordPress database. *Are Sidenotes mobile friendly?* Yes! Sidenotes can be created and read on all Android and iOS devices. *What if I change the content a Sidenote is on?* Sidenotes can be attached to paragraphs, images or specific words in a post.

If you delete the content altogether, you will also delete the Sidenotes attached to it. *Is there someone I can contact if I’m seeing an issue?* Sure! We recognize that many custom WordPress themes and configurations exist, so if seeing any issues while getting Sidenotes integrated onto yours, feel free to visit [Livefyre FAQ](http://support.livefyre.com) or e-mail us at support@livefyre.com, and we’ll be happy to help. == Screenshots == == Changelog == = 1.0 = * Official release! == Upgrade Notice == = 1.0 = Upgrade from previous versions of the Livefyre Comments and Livefyre Sidenotes plugins.
