Shortly after installing this plugin, my WordPress site was compromised. During the cleanup process, suspicious hidden files were discovered inside this plugin’s images/ folder, including hidden backdoor files that did not belong to any legitimate plugin.
The timing of the compromise directly correlated with the installation of this plugin. I am not making a definitive accusation, but the evidence was concerning enough that I removed the plugin entirely as part of my security cleanup.
I would strongly recommend other users have proper security monitoring (such as Wordfence or Sucuri) in place before installing this plugin, and to regularly scan their site for unexpected files.
I have also reported this to the WordPress security team for further investigation.
I’m sure this was a great plugin years ago, and it works, but the UI is cumbersome and feels like it’s from 2008
Exactly provides what we have been looking for. The free version provides enough features to accomplish most needs. For us, a clear 5 star for a free version plugin. Well done!
It used to work fine, but now there’s just a white screen
does it’s job. has many options. is free. but…
can’t align the text left or right. no option and support is not helpful at all.
so the three stars are suppost to reflect slow and unhelpful support.
