Too many ads, even trial doesn’t remove ads

Easy to implement, has nice CSS options for styling but the final page is messed up. I just wanted the image printed or pdfed, but it adds menu items to the print page. Also redirects you to printfrie

Great for dynamic Elementor Image Carousel

This might be a rare use case, but I have a custom post type loop template where I show an image carousel of photos for that post type. I’m using Elementor with Ele Custom Skin to create the template.

Perfect for file sharing

This plugin works perfectly for what I needed–created an interface on a custom post type edit screen for the contributor to upload files, and add a description. Contributors can add their own links in

Grate Plugin

It was a simple and user-friendly plugin. I’ve used this in WordPress’s latest version and it’s still working fine.
