  • The best!

    I tried several plugins of this type and this one was the only one that was right for me. However I found there was a small detail I wished it had, so I emailed them and to my amazement they added the detail I was hoping for. A really great plugin, well worth the modest fee and excellent above and beyond customer service. I almost never write reviews, but I had to for this because I was so delighted with the plugin and especially the customer service. I highly recommend this.

    I love this plugin "Author Box WP Lens" - because it's easy to use and it looks great on Divi sites! Plus I'm also using it on other websites that are not Divi. thanks for making a great plugin
