Custom Cursor For WP Reviews
Good job
Plugin is simple and easy to setup, gives out some nice default cursor options for absolutely free, kudos to the developers!
Needs a “disable on phone option”!
The cursor works on phone, which looks really bad! I dont want the cursor to pop up whenever i click the screen on my phone, because it blocks the content on the page!
Cursor active only in one article
Hello ! Is it possible to activate the cursor in only one specific article of a wordpress website ? Thank you !
