Excelente!

Está bien el plugin y funciona bien añadiéndolo como Widget, pero no aparece en los Bloques de Gutemberg. The plugin is fine and works well adding it as a Widget, but it does not appear in the Gute

Works awesome

Crazy cool plugin! It works great (also with page builders like Elementor). Thank you.

Nice tool

Great tool. It would’ve been nice if it could support bulk upload of featured images, as a gallery (just like in woocommerce product galleries). Thanks!

by Nate Zander

A must-have

Adds so much more flexibility for designing a post, or displaying content in different contexts (home page, single post, archive). Thank you for this great plugin!
