I had an issue configuring the plugin correctly. I wanted it only to be visible to certian user groups, and on specific WooCommerce product pages. Within 24-hours Aakash provided an answer to my question, configuring the floating pligin excatly likle I wanted. Great plugin that does what it claims. Solid
The plugin is excellent, since it allows me to deliver the best possible user navigation in a complex Learndash online course environment on mobile devices. In my case, it allows to have the course topic structure/navigation, which on larger screens is displayed as a sidebar to be opened and closed as a floating layer on smaller screens, so that course navigation is easily accessible without much scrolling.
Aakash, the developer of Ultimate Floating Widgets, is really helpful, when question arise. His support is superb, too. When I encountered a theme update which had a bug with page-type output and thus interfered with the functionality of the plugin, he found the cause and created a workaround tweak, even though the bug was in the (well-known and widespread) theme, so he was not responsible for the solution. I’m grateful for his excellent support.
Plugin ottimo e versatile.
With a little CSS and JS you can achieve amazing solutions. Thank you!
Excellent plugin and excellent support. Highly recommended
