not scaling images

The plugin does not actually scale the images in the menu and displays them only in full size.

Problem with StagTools plugin

Deprecated: contextual_help is deprecated since version 3.3.0! Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab(), get_current_screen()->remove_help_tab() instead. in /xxxx/wp-includes/functions.php on line 508

LOVE THIS PLUGIN!

Easy to use, customize, and makes my clients’ sites look nice and neat. It’s one of the best shortcode plugins out there.
