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.

Simply does not work

Doesn’t work with my theme, doesn’t work with wordpress twentyx themes. and this is after a work around to fix their mixed content issue. The free version only serves as pressure you to buy the paid v

Incredible.

This is javascript based charts plugin. It is very intuitve for customer compared to image based. Although the paid subscription fee is relatively high, it would be great choice to use this plugin.
