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.

    Great plugin with 1 or 2 minor flaws. One is that if you use Extra theme or Divi Builder plugin, It doesn’t detect “Divi theme” and nags you in the admin with a silly message about it, but it still works great. Great job

    Thank you for this plugin. It made my life much easier and it is more flexible than the post slider built into divi. Works great.

    I would give this plugin 4 stars, however, I’m worried about how long it will last. It hasn’t been updated for the past 11 months (going onto a year) and that’s very, very dangerous. I’m currently using it with no issues right now on Divi 4.7.1 and WordPress 5.5.3. I am using it within the Divi Theme builder, and it doesn’t show the actual carousel as you’re building it, but a line of code. This is worrisome, however, it does work fine, with no issues on the front or backend. However, I’m not sure how long this will last. I’d also love to see an equalize height option, which would enable all the posts to be the same height; but again, not sure if this plugin is still supported by the plugin developer. I’ll continue to use till it breaks haha 🙂

    I’ve used for my custom post type in a single – post template and it works quite smooth, wheel done.

    Great plugin that works as it is genuine… Picture or post frame click could be added as improvement. Thanks!
