Be WEARY of Pro version
by stevencavendish·10 months ago·1 reply
This plugin is excellent, and its so good we purchased the pro version.
That’s the good, now the bad.
It appears their site went down the other day (error establishing connection to the database) and then, magically, our pro plugin ‘lost’ its license and stopped working until their site went back online.
It seems absurd to me that developers create licensing checks that have no redundancy which can bring a website crashing to a halt.
It does exactly what it says

This plugin is useful and has a great selection of settings. Well done.
Gamechanger filter for my website
by sholiboli·1 year ago
I bought a (quite cheap) lifetime PRO licence and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the plugin, none of the other plugin that I’ve tested come close. You can choose one of already nice default filter/posts layouts or customize even further it based on your needs. You can also filter posts by custom taxonomies in addition to categories/tags and integrate custom post types and fields.

Great plugin and Support
by mgp33·1 year ago
Have just started to use this plugin. Im very impressed at how easy it is to use, and the level of support is excellent – being able to talk directly to the team on skype rather than waiting hours or days for a reply to a ticket it a real bonus.
