  • Very great plugin compatible with Buddypress

    This plugin is exactly what I was looking for to promote my social network's members and reap the financial benefits. The wigdet can be implemented anywhere on my site and I can choose which types of members to highlight. Design fits my Theme perfectly and it's a great marketing tool. Finally, technical support is very responsive and friendly; and always finds solutions for specific requests. WELL PLAYED !
