Motors Plugin and Pro both faulty
I purchased the Motors Pro plugin after 'road testing' the plugin. But after setup as per the instructions I find that first I am unable to upload any images for both the free version and the Pro version. I have asked support from stylemix theme a week ago but no reply. Even I cannot see any 'Features' on the Add form which I can add as extra features. Either their documentation is very vague and not detailed or the software on the plugin doesn't work. As per their own documentation I am advised "The list of available features can be added, removed, or modified by navigating to WP Dashboard > Listing Page Details > Features List. This allows you to customize the features displayed for each vehicle listing" But guess what there is NO Features List option under the Loan Calculor link as shown on the image in the documentation or any where else on the Listing Page Details. What a shame. This plugin is a sham and its DOES NOT WORK!!! So over a week has gone since I paid for the plugin but no support and I haven't been able to make my website work. The reveiws on Wordpress.org all smme ot be fake and by the plugin authors themselves. I would NOT recommend this plugin as it may look good but comes with a loat of headache. Since my complaint above and several tickets which I raised in my Motors Plugin account, I had a very good customer support help from Matthew Gordon, who has helped me throughout to resolve these issues. Many issues were to do with Elementor upgrades and some with the Motors plugin itself, but at the moment it looks good. I am still in the early stages of setting up my official website autobazar co uk with this plugin and will post further reviews (hopefully all good) on this blog. I would like to thank Matthew Gordon for taking ownership and in a very polite, prompt and knowlegable way help me understand the issues and resolve them. I would now like to recommend the Motors Plugin to anyone wanting to start an automobile website.

It's been really exciting
It's been really exciting to be able to create a professional classifieds website in such a short amount of time. There are still things to improve, but it's exactly what I need, and with a little custom CSS and JS, it can have a very professional look and functionality.
