It helped us manage hundreds of categories
by travandi·2 years ago
Pretty good module, it serves it purpose, helps us handle hundred of categories. So if you want a easy way to manage category tree, this just works.
Waste of time

Free version works only with basic WordPress blog entries. Any other content like WooCoommerce requires Pro version. Bait.
the licensing model couldn’t be worse
by volkerforster·2 years ago·1 reply
Offered “for free”, it comes with close to ZERO functionality. Categorizing Posts is the only free function, anything else is only available in the paid version. Sure, you are supposed to make money with your product. But don’t pretend to offer it for free if actually nothing is free. This is false advertising and leaves an unpleasant rip-of-flavor in my mouth.
Misleading

Please don’t put features of the pro version on the description without PROPERLY listing that they are features for the PRO version. That way, you can avoid wasting people’s time
Love the functionality and fast and good support
by Yessi99·3 years ago
Love this functionality for if you have more than a few categories. I also wanted the functionality of drag and drop the post order, wich is also available together with Real Custom Post Order. I didn’t know about this, but support helped me out.
