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.

    I had it working fine on some fairly complex Elementor layouts in no time, which saved me doing a whole lot of custom CSS. Works exactly as advertised.

    I was trying to fix my columns using flex, but initial theme styles + pagebuilder makes it so unclear… THANKS YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH

    This is really a great plugin. However, not tested with current WordPress…

    This is my dream come true. I spent several hours trying to get this to work via manual coding and could not get a cross-browser solution. I installed this plugin, changed ONE setting, and I’m done. Under 5 minutes, start to finish. Holy smokes. THANK YOU!!
