Great plugin

Simply great!

by Daniel J. Dick

Nice to see what you want to see

I’m not sure why this isn’t something available by default without the need for a plugin. But since it isn’t, it is nice to be able to add it back in where it belongs.

Does the job

I had it working fine on some fairly complex Elementor layouts in no time, which saved me doing a whole lot of custom CSS. Works exactly as advertised.
