Reviews

Great Plugin!!

This plugin works better in the widget sidebar than any other plugin I’ve used. Even though others say they are responsive, this one truly is! Thank you. Dee

Very good

Easy to use and many options.

Very Useful!

Easy to use and works well. I really appreciate the fixed size option and also the TinyMCE text editor which was the deciding factor on me using this plugin. The option to override the plugin’s image HTML template ( hwim-template.php ) as explained on your website is also a really nice touch. It would have saved me typing if the widget had imported the caption and alt fields for images from the Wordpress Media library to the text and alt fields in the Widget.

image is not uploading

It’s not working properly. I couldn’t be able to add image.

Has always worked without bugs or whining

No problems at all here. Has always worked well on a busy recruiting site, so there.

Well done and flexible

Works great out of the box and the directions to customize your own template helped a lot. Thanks for a great plugin.

Changelog

• Fixed issues with the HTML view of the TinyMCE editor.
