WOW

Excellent plugin with a lot of options. Worked for me immediatley without any problems. I show posts as a enterprise history. Thank you for this.

The donat button shows me the duckdiverllc.com site. But how can I donate?

Unwillingness of developer to improve plugin
by Lee·4 years ago·2 replies

I’ve given two stars because whilst the plugin does perform a good feature, it’s extremely limited in the sense that the JS is not properly enqueued, so if like me you develop your own theme, or use an optimisation plugin, and use different ordering of JS and CSS enqueueing, then this plugin is likely to not work.

This is because the JS options are hard coded and echoed out directly onto the page, regardless of where the initial jQuery call is. This has rendered the plugin completely useless on my site because it’s not using recommended WordPress enqueue practices.

Eccellente

Semplice, flessibile e supporta la visualizzazione dei caroselli degli articoli riservati agli utenti registrati anche per i visitatori non registrati. Quest’ultima è un’ottima caratteristica. Mi sembra un plug-in molto ben fatto. Grazie per averlo messo a disposizione gratuitamente.

Great Stuff !
by iceninexp·4 years ago

I really appreciate the work you’ve put into this plugin! I found it quite straightforward to be able to create modals of post types as opposed to just displaying to the image. Great choice to use featherlight!

Thanks so much!
