I am new to this but I just installed last week and cannot get it to work. I just installed Chrome so it cannot be an old version. Thoughts?
Since Google updated Forms & Classroom, this extension is no longer needed for that. However, if you still use it for Twitter, it will only convert text right after typing it: select text, right click, Format, Main or Decorative, then select font.
HOWEVER, the next step is important, while the text is still selected, select Paste (or Ctrl+V).
I uninstalled the extension and installed it again but it is still not working. It only gives me the option of more info or buying you a cup of coffee.
Hi, it appears to be limited to very few individuals. It may be conflicting with another extension or browser and OS may need to be updated. Another reason may be due to permissions being blocked (just likely on a school account). The previous commenter (Karen) PM me letting me know that it just started working. Check out the video to see how it works. Let me know if you still need help.
Is this extension no longer working unless I buy Mr. G a cup of coffee? Suddenly this week when I click or right click on the extension, my only choices are More information, which takes me to this website, or Buy a cup of coffee.
No, don’t buy me a coffee if it doesn’t work. It works on my end. I have two recommendations: 1. Make sure your Chrome browser is up to date. 2. Uninstall and Install the new version of the extension. 𝙊𝙣 𝒎𝒚 e̲n̲d̲, 𝖎𝖙 𝖜𝖔𝖗𝖐𝖘 𝖜𝖊𝖑𝖑.
