Niceeee
A solid 5 stars. All i need is for it to work with my cache. Can you inject the recently viewed via ajax on page load?

Great, but not fully compatible with Breakdance Theme
Hey Mahesh, I’ve been using the "Recently Viewed Product for WooCommerce" plugin and found it quite useful. However, I noticed it conflicts with my theme, "Breakdance," on some pages. This issue causes all icons on the page to scale up to ten times their normal size, and it hides other images and text. I had to uninstall the plugin to resolve this, and everything worked fine afterward. I’ve tried other "Recently Viewed Product" plugins, but they don’t offer the same level of control and flexibility as yours. I would really appreciate it if you could look into this issue and address it in your next update. I’d love to reinstall the plugin once it's fixed. Cheers, and keep up the great work!
