    The plugin does not actually scale the images in the menu and displays them only in full size.

    Tried a couple of plugins for adding menu images, so far only this one worked for me. Also the support is top-notch. Overall a 5-star plugin!

    Seems unfinished. Bit surprised to see they it’s a paid plugin with a free version. I wouldn’t pay.Beware: You need to save every menu item before being able to add an image. Then a hover appears that you can use to insert an image.However, hiding the menu item title doesn’t work on mobile, so you get both menu item title + image.Annoying.I chose another plugin that had far more features, had no paid plans, looks good, and works flawlessly.

    Nice idea, but the interface is totally weird and nonstandard. Also, I could not get it to work properly. If you like “go pro nags” – go for it.
