Not free

zinizcheng77 November 3, 2024

there is no free plugin, so buy one and try. If you are not satisfied, learn CSS yourself!

Free but can’t edit and save very much

tanboxer July 24, 2024

As a non programmer this had so much potential for me. However I couldn’t save things I wanted to do for FREE. I wouldn’t have minded paying if it was a license for all my little websites and it wasn’t too expensive. Most of my sites are not for profit so I’m left behind to support the license on this product.

I like it

Go on great work great team ..

Useless plugin. Use something else

Useless plugin. Use something else

Useless free version

zollo August 8, 2023

Do not even waste your time downloading it.I deleted it from all my 40 websites.I thought about purchase of the license but now I quit with it.Seems they have business getting worse and worse if they have to disable such an important feature.Absolutely useless plugin now.

You can’t even copy your code in free version

kacper3355 June 29, 2023

One of the latest updates introduced a “new feature”. Now you can’t even copy your code from the editor without buying premium version. As a long time user of your plugin, that considered a premium subscription, I find this move a bit… pathetic, for the lack of a better word.This plugin in free version is now officially useless.
