Works Well

Needed SVG upload support, and this plugin did the job. Very lightweight and easy to use. No issues so far. Some additional settings would be nice, but overall, it’s quite solid.

Nice And Easy

Nice And Easy plugin for using SVG files

Good plugin, but missing …

Would have given a 5 star, but it seems support is missing for the taxonomy / terms section (like in categories) upload for SVG images. Keep getting an error that the upload isn’t supported. Hopefully

Indispensable

Intégration parfaite du SVG : on peut modifier la couleur de ses icones, et on les retrouve dans la librairie média standard. Ce devrait être intégré dans WordPress. Tous les plugins de cet auteur son

Outputs SVGs inline and lets me set the size and fill colors.
