Works right off, no tweaking necessary

Like other Weaver products, this plug in just plain works right off. Easy to use with ample descriptions. No guessing.

numerous settings, still rather easy to use

There are numerous settings to display the required content and finally tweaked the display with the custom CSS feature. This topic was modified 8 years, 6 months ago by gotti75.

Powerful yet simple to use

There are other plugins that offer similar flexibility and powerful post display capabilities… but, none of those are as easy to use as this 🙂
