How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

    I purchased Guten Post Layout Pro. I never got a email with the authorization code. Emailed the company no response, the phone number is disconnected. WordPress should take down their plugin!

    We’re using the Pro version of the Guten Post Layout plugin. This plugin is really the best out there! It’s extremely intuitive. We’ve tried many other plugins, the majority with shortcodes which we didn’t want. The big pro’s of this plugin is integration with blocks and the gorgeous look and feel. Due to our conflicting theme, we’ve had extensive contact with the support team of GutenDev. The support was beyond professional, so very knowledgable and quick. We really can’t thank them enough for their support and time in helping with our issues, even though it wasn’t caused by their plugin but our own theme.

    “Gutendev’s plugin, Guten Post Layout is just superb. It helped me create a professional WordPress blog layout which would have been impossible with basic WordPress settings. I really love the fact that they provide 3 different modules like grid, masonry, and slider in one plugin. I would highly recommend their product if you want a great layout for your website!”

    I really don’t mind getting a limited free version and need to pay for a complete version, but the video shows a lot of possibilities and said that it is totally free in the end, and it is not true. It could be better if this message is on the video. This topic was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by emanueltavares. This topic was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by emanueltavares.
