Update

by nacreous·3 years ago

Has this project been abandoned? I purchased the pro version and I’m now having issues adding stories to my site since the last two WordPress updates. I wouldn’t have downloaded and paid for something that I got to use for less than 2 months if I knew it would be upkept. It was great one of the major features on my site.

Harika ama…

by biredip·4 years ago

Eklediğimiz hikâyeye yazıdan otomatik olarak bir parça metin eklemek istiyorum. Hatta yazının başlığı ve ayarlanabilen 5-10 kelimelik bir ekleme olsa harika olur. Bir de bunu bileşen olarak ekleme imkanı olmalı.
