  • Great Plugin and Great Support

    Makes shortcodes so much easier to display. I've had to contact support in the past for a plugin, but Vishali with Cool Plugins went above and beyond to help me out with my issues. I highly suggest using their products.

  • Block based

    I used it several years ago. Now I needed it again for a client. The best thing: It's already block based with lot's of customization. Great job, thanks! (It would be perfect to be able to select custom fonts that are being added through Kadence Custom Fonts plugin)
