Great Support found outdated plugin problem

by roland711·5 years ago

I have got a problem on catch base template with text overlapping sliders. The support have debugged this with an temporary account. And found an outdated plugin (WP Lightbox 2) which is no more compatible to the current WP.
A support for an template, which have a look on other parts of the wordpress configuration and plugins and not only the own parts, is really great.
Thank you for that and keep going that way!
