Very convenient and helpful Plugin
The plugin is good as long as it works, but it does not always, and then you need help. Which, unfortunately, you will not get from this company. All the money you have spent is then gone. This month, I sent two support tickets because the youtube shortcode didn’t work. No reply. About a year ago, I had a similar situation, and also no reply. Deeply disappointed.
The Shortcodes Ultimate plug-in adds a lot of functionality to my websites. I’ve been using it for years now and stil very happy. Thanks!
Отличный плагин!
This is a fantastic plugin, and most importantly, it is stable.
I had [Shortcodes by Angie Makes]. The core problem: CVE-2023-23725, which had a broken access control issue. It allowed an attacker to exploit incorrectly configured access.
The previous plugin had a large control over my theme; I had to find a new secure like-for-like functionality, which Shortcode Ultimate has, but more importantly, it is up to date with security patches and isn’t booted off WordPress.
I had to reconfigure 30 pages, which took me 15 hours, but it was worth it, as the new plugin has enhanced my website significantly. Not only from a security standpoint but from a speed and bloat standpoint, which the previous plugin did unknowingly until I kicked a hornet’s nest and discovered Angie Makes is a rogue plugin.
