As a Plugin Should Be!

Works as expected. Very stable plugin. No annoying reminders. Makes things at classiccarsszone more structured. Superb.

Good but…

It’s a very good ans simple visual editor, too bad that is missing the possibility to add an image swap (rollover, mouseover). You can just add friezed images.

Very nice, working great

I like this image widget plugin, certainly better than the default one, also works with some external lightbox plugins, so that’s a bonus. Also, it works without a problem on WordPress v5.4.2.
