Great Plug-in & Support

This a great plug-in, comprehensive yet simple interface. Support staff such as John Gachari has been super responsive and helpful in fixing display errors caused by integrations with the Oxygen Builder and JQuery Migrate settings.

Excellent
by chronicsys·3 months ago·1 reply
Not sure about some of the bad reviews. This plugin (free version) has worked and is working flawlessly for me without any problems whatsoever. In addition, the markup it serves and the presentational (css) layer are well thought out. Beats another paid plugin I wont name hands down.
