FAQ

1. For which version of WordPress is this plugin?

Originally, Skype Online Status was developed for and reported to work for WordPress 2.0.x up to 2.1

Later versions, Skype Online Status 2.5 and up, will also be tested on Wordpress 2.3, 2.5.x and 2.6 but backward compatibility cannot be guaranteed. Please report you WP version when discussing bugs.

2. I've got the plugin running on my blog but the Skype button always shows my online status as 'Unkown'.

You have to allow anyone to see your online status within your Skype client settings. Read more about it on http://www.skype.com/share/buttons/status.html
