I am just using the free version of the plugin. It does exactly what I was looking for already at the free version. Shortcodes would be something that would let me buy the pro version; however, currently I am satisfied with the basic handling. Although, I wish the series information would be collapsible.
It has helped me tremendously on my new community website to organize my series, which makes it easier for others to find them and the next post in the series! Thank you for this!
It works, but it’s hard to get the styling right. The templates are all html with proprietary css classes in a text box.
A great app that saved my neck. I wanted to divide my site into chapters. The only thing I could find was an app that hadn’t been updated in six years! No thanks.
but this one did the trick, allowing my “novel” to look very professional.
A solid 10/10 rating from me. Thank you guys.
