  • На WordPress 5.5 не работает. Not working with WordPress 5.5

    Прекрасно работал до обновления WordPress до версии 5.5. После обновления бОльшая часть функционала плагина (а именно в ней его суть) не работает. Жаль. Удаляю. Worked great before updating WordPress to 5.5. After the update, most of the plugin's functionality (namely, its essence) does not work. It's a pity. I delete.

  • Fixes issues on Google Chrome

    The default editor has really bad issues with the edit permalink inline-popup where it just blinks, you can't click it. This really help fix that issue.

  • perfect

    Excellent plugin. No messy shortcodes needed for adding styled buttons. The styling of buttons is 100% controlled by the designer (CSS) - and NOT in the admin by the editor or author.

  • Superb tool

    Saved the day for a complex project - without it, I'd've had to manually migrate thousands of media files to custom fields over many hundreds of blog posts!
