  • Had huge potential, but no support for either pro or free any more.

    I've been using Ghostkit for almost 5 years now. However it was the first time I paid for pro last year.] Turns out the "pro" is only updated once a year, leaving you with months of waiting for bugs to be resolved. Free version isn't getting much love either. I love Ghostkit and wished to see it emerge as the pioneering block plugins, but sorry, they just don't deliver.

  • It's effective!

    Thanks for this pluginn have done to make our job of building sights. Multi function and feature are available from the start. It's so nice!

  • Very cool..!

    in addition to the icon block that can support svg, it is also supported by the css and javascript editing fields, just with this you don't need to install several plugins

  • Ghostkit is awesome

    So many great blocks and abilities. Super powers the editor. Only thing i've found is some of the accessibility on some blocks could be improved.

  • DO NOT update to 3+

    Very good grid builder, but I don't like how you changed it after version 3 It also breaks everything in first 3+ versions... margins and paddings disappeared on many pages... changes were not getting saved... it's ok now with the current version, but it cost me a lot of hours to fix this
