Doesn’t work
Set everything up and it errors out and crashes the page when I add the shortcode
Good with localisation flaws
This plugin is absolutely what I needed for my student web, however there are some serious limitations (but I am using the free version). THE LIMITATIONSThere is no way currently to edit the look
great little plug in
it would be even better if I could change language on display when linking to google – I would be happy to buy pro version for that 🙂
