Works great and is easy to work with. Hopefully the creator will keep this plugin update 🙂
smart because simple

…the alternative would be using jquery, not everyone can code. Yet, I’m not sure its fully working because I’m using it inside WpBakery and the “size” attribute is not working. That said, page builders suck therefore can cause conflicts everywhere…. or can it be the plugin?
Very helpful plugin
