Reviews

It’s too convoluted and is not transparent re. Woocommerce

January 23, 2021
Note, it's not free for any Woocommerce user, which is likely just code added to block it before payment is made. But the 1 star is because it does not fit in with how WP works. It's either activated on everything, or needs an unintuitive and not WP friendly manually added code, that takes away the point of using a plugin. Most of what this plugin does can be added with Bootstrap or Jquery, with not much more code needed, and no need for an extra plugin

Doesn’t work

November 24, 2020
Added plugin. Activated pluging. Added images. No lightbox. No change. No support. Nothing.
