  • 2.0 Update Ruined it!

    Was working Perfectly fine, but 2.0 update just greets you with a paywall, Breaks old parallax sections, and just works worse in genereal. Just revert it back.

  • Easy to use and reliable

    Thanks for the nice plugin. It was easy to set up and worked as advertised. I'll keep it in my library of favorites.

  • Easy to use, easy to understand

    I admit that I tried to develop my own WP parallax plugin with CSS to avoid later update issues. But without JS it came out it's impossible. This plugin provides for Gutenberg editor a very nice and easy solution. Great!
