Complete Garbage
Complete garbage of a plugin.Make updates and the Modal’s don’t change. Create a new modal, the old one stays live. Change shortcode, no change.Remove the plugin and re-add it…same thing.Stay far away
Never used a crappier plugin
Talk about messing up the user interface. Instant uninstall. This topic was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by jarekluberek.
