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 wrote a very negative review of this plugin. I have now changed this review due to the excellent service I received from the author. Since using the original Twentyseventeen theme I have experienced a weird bounce on the home page when the parallax scrolling is used as the page transitions to the content. This bounce is unique to the iPad, however this has not been tested on any newer iPads from 2021-2024 also there is no issue with any other Apple product. After a conversation with the author it really does appear to be an iPad issue. The iPad is enlarging the header background way beyond its design restrictions. I have now had an opportunity to review the other features which work extremely well and was somewhat hasty in my original review. the author did offer to look into the issue an try and create a fix but I will just live with the bounce as it is only evident on an iPad and the target audience of my blog are located in the U.K. where iPads are less common.

    My website works perfectly with the 2017 theme and the Options for 2017 plugin. I don’t have any programming knowledge, and I was helped promptly and with great expertise when I had questions. The developers’ help is worth every penny!http://www.sbk-produkte.de

    This plugin was indispensable for creating my website. It works very well. Every time I find something is wrong and I seek support, very quickly I get a response and resolution of my issue. In most cases the source of the problem is NOT this plugin but something else (usually some other plugin).
