Horrible Plugin
Horrible plugin. If I could give minus stars I would’ve given that. After adding the shortcode to my site, this message showed, “There has been a critical error on this website.”
Great job!
installed the free version on two different sites – everything works great! This topic was modified 3 years, 10 months ago by zdeniss. This topic was modified 3 years, 10 months ago by z
Profile Box Shortcode And Widget Reviews
Works good
I found it really interesting, especially its like box with shortcodes is my favorite function.
Not Responsive
8o% of users use mobile devices. Responsive should be standard on all plugins but it is not. The same goes for this one. Out of date This topic was modified 7 years, 6 months ago by amorino198
So easy to manage
Excellent plugin, updated to the last version of wp (4.8). Widget auto width needs to be improved for responsive.
