Great plugin and support

by Chris·3 years ago

I don’t know what the other reviewers are complaining about. This is a simple plugin that did exactly what I needed; set a default header image, and to be able to set special header images in any page. The first time I had a problem was almost 2 years after installation and use. The developer was responsive, and had the issue resolved very quickly. I was very impressed.

Great plugin, highly recommend!

No good support

by pe greme·4 years ago·1 reply

With the new theme version of Leftside this long working plugin did not fit anymore! The various header images were no longer displayed or the pages were shot with the codes provided in the plugin. With the default themes it works.
Unfortunately the developer didn’t offer me any real support, but wanted access via FTP data or into the whole system. Despite sending me the theme and child theme data, I received no response. Too bad!
So I switched to another new plugin.
