  • Terrible customer support

    Plugin stopped working on Shopisle Pro after update, no response from the developers after a week. Cool product, but bad customer support, which is essential when you're on a tight deadline.

  • VERY useful to customize CSS

    I love that this can edit from the Wordpress customize section, so on any page I can go to the top admin bar and choose "customize", edit the CSS and then see live changes before saving. My only suggestion is please color code the CSS syntax to make editing the CSS easier. Thank you! Very useful plugin highly recommended for CSS newbies and pros.
