  • Easy to use and with a great support

    It's easy to use and works well on multiple pages (pro version). I had a problem with a use case and the support solved it quickly.

  • Easy to use

    Very useful and easy to set up. Works for complex tours as well. Allows you to customize colors, logos and more. Overall a great plugin that simply does the job!

  • Very nice and simple

    Works super well. The only feedback I have is: It would be great if you could select wether the tour view is being saved as a cookie or on the user account. I have logged in users, and when they see clear their cookies, they will see the tour again, which is kind of annoying for them.

  • Simple to use, but doesn't work with multiple page tours.

    The plugin is free and simple to use. However, I need to show a different set of tour steps for different pages.For example, the "Welcome to the site" message should only be visible on the home page. It should not pop up again when a user navigates to the Shop or the About page.To solve this problem, I tried to use the "Skip a step if the step is attached to an element that is not visible." option in the settings. Unfortunately, instead of skipping the step when it cannot find the class or id in the html, it floats the step in the center of the page.And thats not what I want.So for now, I'll have to build the tour only on the home page, which is frustrating. Multipage tours would be much appreciated.Thank you for the plugin however. It's actually pretty handy.

  • Not Bad at all!

    Cool But, It doesn't like going down and then back up the page. It prefers one direction. (down) The popup is working, but you have to scroll up to see it. Doesn't work on :before :after tags An alternative is: Intro Tour Tutorial DeepPresentation and goes up and down anytime and has a front end editor, but its interface is not clean. BUT I'm using both on 2 different sites. They serve their purpose on each.
