Hi,
There are two different prices for Pro. One in the plugin and one on the site.

I don’t know what to expect – I don’t have the pro version.

Are the entire posts supposed to be displayed?

There is a “more…” link after each paragraph on the page, including within the same posts.

love this plugin, but my featured images are bring cropped vertically. Anybody else having this issue?
