  • works perfect - now also responsive

    Great work. For our project, it works fine. After a quick inquiry, they added the code to get the plugin responsive. Works also fine on our site. Thanks to the team

  • Paragraphs being stripped

    Easy to use and works fine; just: Paragraphs are being stripped, which is quite annoying. And: some parts cannot be customized color wise (as e.g. the arrow borders and the circles) respectively must be customized separately via CSS and by adding !important.

  • It's ok

    It's the only one I found with the horizontal option, but I didn't find how to add pictures or change the family font.

  • Excellent and fully customizable

    It works nicely in a horizontal orientation and we could fully customize it to match our sites style. Highly recommended!

  • Fantastic

    This is one of the plugins that makes exactly what you expect from it. Easy to configure, simple and straightforward with a reasonable number of options. Also, it works under WP 5.9.2 even if it is not officially stated. Thank you for making it
