Reviews

so far, so good

highlightuk November 20, 2024

Only been using it a few days, and I’m a newbie to WP so everything is a learning curve. So far I have managed to get all of the Otter features that I wanted for my site to work fine. I still have many more to explore as I develop my site.

Awful. Just plain awful.

bbarbour October 31, 2024 1 reply

I have never used a more frustrating plugin. Basic options are not intuitive. Want to change the text color? Hunt for it, under one of two “Highlight” options. Want to see the actual plugin options by clicking the Otter Blocks link in the dashboard? Nope, it will never load. There are 5 tabs on that page and not a single one will load, the wheel just spins around and around. And sloooooow….WP is already pretty inefficient with your time. Otter Blocks really steps that up a notch. Combined with having to hunt for basic features, you won’t get much done in an hour. Decide you want to remove it because it is awful? No can do, friend, your site is now broken. You’re going to have to repair the entire thing.

real cool plugin

Very disappointed

Digital-Ninja October 12, 2024 4 replies

Let’s see… where do I begin… hmm First, after purchasing a pro plan, the only blocks that will display in the “browse all” blocks in Gutenberg only shows Otter now. The other blocks I depend on never display in the “browse all” view. I can search and find them, but I can’t browse them.Second, buttons don’t offer all of the attributes I need to stylize. There’s no letter-spacing attribute. Additionally, attempting to make changes to the style of the buttons using the widget UI seems to not effect the button at all… (yes, I’ve checked to ensure I’m not overriding with other styles)When using the button widget UI, some of the fields overlap with each other. Yes, my browser zoom is set to 100%.So… at the moment, I guess I have to start over with buttons after 2hrs of trial and error, reading their documentation, etc. I’ll be having a chat with the license holder Monday. I think we’re still within our 30 day money back window. As far as I can tell, this purchase was an exercise in frustration management.
