  • could not be activated

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error. Need I say more? WordPress 6.4.3 running Raft theme.

  • Needs updating

    The plugin doesn't work correctly with the latest WP update. It creates weird shadowing for all links, including buttons.

  • 10 stars

    Perfect little lightweight plugin for adding link styling to posts and/or pages. Saved me hours of time. I'd give this 10 starts if I could. Well done guys

  • nice ...but

    *5 stars for the free version. exactly what i want to highlight links in an "all black" theme which includes URLs in black, this makes the links stand out what is what. Very good. BUT..................... You might want to work on your contactability. The basic version is very good. There are parts locked with words "pro version" but 1. this text is without hyperlink, there is no link where to find any more information on the pro version. I cannot make enquiry on your website, your contact form needs an envato receipt to send a message. Your profile is @ but how do i contact >? Its been a frustrating exercise, one that would put off a lot of people.
