  • Incompatible with rtMedia plugin

    This plugin provides versatile options for customizing BuddyPress default pages. However, the layout breaks when you upload photos to your BuddyPress profile using rtMedia plugin. I had to deactivate this plugin as many due to the issue

  • Elementor is versatitle and extensible

    Elementor is easy to work with, yet it does not sacrifice on extensibility and versatility.

  • Thank you

    We had encountered an issue with the displaying of the bodybuilder elements for our website and after some time waiting support finally got back to us and took a look at it and they had figured out what the issue was and they said that they will resolve the issue in the future and gave us a temporary solution in the meantime, good service very thankful that we actually got help, because so far our experience with plugins and and their support teams hasn't been very good but this one seems to actually be a good one with good support.

  • Save your money. This plugin is useless.

    This plugin has not been maintained or upgraded, the docs are no longer valid and support will just string you along. Save your money and look elsewhere. There is much better well developed and well maintained plugins out there that actually work. This plugin is useless and is basically a scam at this point. You have been warned.
