    Making an entire WordPress CMS and then designing and building your themes in Notepad is easier than using this theme. It’s like trying to use a Birmingham screwdriver to fix a watch.

    Jesus Christ is this bad. Don’t bother. Actually deleted work without even saving, just accessing the editor. Don´t bother.

    I tried to move a progressbar modul on a different location per drag & drop, but nothing working. Not on Chrome or Firefox Browser, I am realy sad about that and i have to find a better solution for my website! 🤢👎

    Don’t waste your time installing this plugin unless you plan on purchasing the full version. The free version literally does nothing more than what can be done in the native wordpress theme customization. This plugin shouldn’t even be available through wordpress.
