 * I’ve just copied the plugin to my plugins directory, and when I hit ‘Activate’
   on the plugin it simply redirects me to the home page of my site, without activating.
 * Any ideas on how to resolve? Would appreciate the help!
 * Thanks,
    Paul

 * Just got a notice from WordPress Firewall regarding activation of the plugin.
   There appears to be a conflict. If you disable the WordPress Firewall, enable
   this plugin, and reenable the Slick Social plugin, all is well with the world.

 * Hi,
 * Yes the WordPress Firewall plugin incorrectly identifies it as a threat.
