  • Useful but abandoned

    Still some useful things here but some no longer work such as scheduled content. Others such as parallax superceded by Elementor updates. Pity its not supported anymore

  • works great to close accordions' first tab on load

    Works great to set all Elementor's accordions' first tab to be closed on page load. (I have no clue why that possibility isn't possible directly in Elementor) /Lars, Copenhagen WP 5.2

  • Plugin abandoned, move on...

    I am sorry to take back my original rating, but I have no choice. It's sad that the original developer obviously had abandoned this plugin, for whatever reason. Please don't install anymore.
