  • Good

    Does what it should. However it needs an option to exclude sites. It should not appear when editing frontend with pagebuilders

  • Just Great!

    This a powerful tool when you are building your site and adding funtionalities from plugins, so you dont have to be going betwen back and frontend. Thank you very much for you effort.

  • Almost perfect.

    Works almost perfectly. The only issue I'm having are the sub menu's not showing up in some themes, due to z-index issues. Either the plugin needs to set a real high z-index value for the submenus, or have the option for the site admin to adjust that value. Overall though, very good, so even with this little problem (easily fixable), I gladly give it 5 stars without any hesitations. Follow up update: Ok, I can't fix this with a simple z-index value. However, if I collapse the menu, the sub menus appear, which is a nice compromise I guess. So my guess is that this is a JavaScript issue? Again, the submenu issue happens with some themes, and not all. For example, this plugin works fine with the WP default themes.
