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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    It works and creates columns, however, it has too many bugs, in it disables other functionality in the custom editor and paste deletes the whole paragraph not just the highlighted word.

    This plug-in changes your formatting when you’re working in the visual editor. Removing for example <p align center> tags, adding   paragraphes. Nice idea but terrible implementation. Options can’t be changed after creation, buggy handling: Without a major update – hands off!

    It seems like an excellent approach, but it doesn’t work. The options menu simply does not appear. It is a pity that they closed the support forum and closed the questions without giving an answer. Closed without answer: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-find-the-settings-6/ I hope they fix it! I’ll change my rating/review This topic was modified 7 years, 10 months ago by Daniel.

    I was a big Pixelgrade fan and I still like the Rosa theme very much. Gridable is turning down my enthusiasm though. There is no proper manual or documentation as far as I can see. Gridable is a pain in the a** the way it works: I experienced uncontrollable frontend behavior after changes in the backend on pages and posts. I disabled Gridable months ago. My Pixelgrade installation (Rosa theme) works properly and as reliable as before. -Frank This topic was modified 7 years, 3 months ago by Frank J..

    I really appreciate the minimal code it adds to the page. I usually write something similar to this for my client projects, but this is much nicer in several respects. However: It’s impossible to insert the cursor after a row if the row is the last thing in the content. You can’t rearrange rows or cut and paste. The Add Row button does not work in the Text editor. Front-end JS file is mostly a giant comment. Minified version should be used, and possibly the dependency on jQuery removed for this tiny little function. This topic was modified 8 years, 8 months ago by swinggraphics. Reason: Lowered rating after discovering difficulties of using the plugin

    It does a good job together with the right theme. I use the combination of GeneratePress Sections and Gridable. It needs some time to get used to. I still struggle with the layout sometimes. This topic was modified 8 years, 8 months ago by norro88.

    Frontend does not work and there is no developer support on the forums here. Without developer support, it is risky to put on a production site unfortunately. Would have loved to see this project continue more.

    This is exactly I was trying to make but this is so good that I don’t even need to try. I look forward to seeing some custom setting I can modify its default css or add my own. Thank you for this amazing plugin.
