Needs a lot of work
-
Ok, plugin does work quite well as far as I can see after playing around with it for a day. Unfortunately there is one major flaw with it that makes it almost impossible to use for anyone who is not comfortable with coding: if you enable the plugin’s default CSS, it will mess up virtually ANY theme because it overwrites basic selectors like body, html, table etc. as well as classes like .container which are used by many themes. Developers say they tested it on Twenty Twelve and it works fine, sorry not good enough, a decent plugin should try its best not to cause theme conflicts. It’s a bit lazy to simply import the normalize.css stylesheet and expect it to work – well it doesn’t, it messes up the majority of themes.
Their reply is that you can disable the plugin’s default styles, but if you do that the menus and other elements look awful, so you have to spend a lot of time creating your own styles, or do like me: go into the plugin’s stylesheet and delete all unwanted classes, but if you do that you won’t be able to update the plugin in future.
If they can sort out the conflict issue, the plugin will be worth at least 4 stars, right now I’m afarid it’s a 3 from me.
