Good but Not Quite Perfect
by erickson18·3 years ago

I’m happy with its main promise – to easily add a nice looking blog page. That does not mean its perfect. But after trying out similar products this works the best for me.

I wish it did not erase all other content (apart from the blog) when I the options are updated. I have an introduction before the shortcode and have learned to keep a copy in case any changes are made.

Don’t expect that there will be post navigation options to look like what is on the demo page — or that there will be options for related posts. It has a few widgits to add to the blog but I did not not end up using them.

There are some things I wish I could do on my blog page that go beyond the plugin, but within the scope of what it does, it generally lives up to it’s name.

An update with post navigation options would go a long way.

Think Carefully
by amburtt·3 years ago

May be what you want or need for your WordPress site, but proceed carefully. I found the plugin (a) complicated to use, (b) weighted too much towards promoting the paid version (c) a heavily crippled free version reducing its utility. Perhaps the decider for me though was that it simply did not work with my theme.
