I have the Pro version of this plugin and it works very well indeed. I highly recommend it.
I’ve tested all the rss plugins you can access from the WordPress site backend and SRR offered the best features and was more affordable.
Customizations to your needs may take a bit if you look for something special, which can be achieved by adding the related css to your own template. The included themes look good too. Also check that your own theme alignment settings are properly setup.
Overall my experience can be summarized as professional, responsive, and quick.
Notice, the free version only is for widgets, and not all themes feature widgets, like Avada.
Would buy SSR again.
Bought the Premium version to try ,but takes a long time to load a page.Seller agrees in a email it taking long time to load .I hope he fix this issue.
This plugin and the documentation is exceptional. The free version was so good by itself, I purchased the “pro” version. One thing I like is the straight forward and clean interface where others have unneeded fancy yet confusing set-up pages that treat me like an idiot. I like the more “advanced” documentation for adding behaviors with hooks, though it would be nice to be able to adjust feed caching times on a per-widget basis in the widget.
I’ve been using this plugin for a while now and it meets my needs.
Support (Aakash) has been prompt and very helpful. Thank you!
I’m using the free version…for now.
