No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Mixed PraiseOnboardingSupport gone quiet

Reviewers who get past the setup call it simple and effective, while others say the instructions don't explain where to add the CSS classes and the resizer never shows up on their site.

    Refer to the suggestions in the pinned item in the support forum. I also get a feeling of creating redundant enlarger schemes. It works, but it feels a bit nasty.

    I love the simplicity of this plugin, both in terms of setup (I went the modify template route to add the resize buttons) and appearance to visitors. And I especially appreciate the ability to target specific elements and the ability to set a cookie to manage persistence. I’m pretty sure most of the negative reviews result from people who did not read the instructions or watch the video, and just expected the resizer to automagically appear.

    I’ve been looking for something like this to make my site more accessible. This plugin is great.

    A bit more complex to use at the beginning, but easy to understand after a quick visit to support. Once you get the hang of it, the Accessibility Font Resizer plugin is really dynamic, effective and helpful. Due to its functionality and ease of use, the plugin deserves a five-star rating!

    Nothing happens on the site after your instructions. Maybe your plugin has a lot of standard-theme deps but then you should mention it. So for me it does not work anyway

    The developer seems to lack giving any instructions beyond a video which is hopeless. Why not give an example, and CSS classes we can copy & paste into buttons or text? This really deserves 5 stars, but get 4 stars because of lack of decent instructions. I don’t have the patience to watch a video and pause, type out a class when I want to create my own widget or place it in a page and NOT a menu. A real shame since 30 seconds of the developer writing instructions is all it would need. Anyway, in it’s very basic form you can do this: <span class=”afr-normal”>A</span> <span class=”afr-large”>A</span> <span class=”afr-xlarge”>A</span> But then you’d need to make your own CSS for styling the cursor, and sizes of those 3 A’s if you want it too look good. Why doesn’t this plugin have it? Right now, I’m adding my own shortcode and using this plugin core to make my own version!
