Everything I needed

unklee March 13, 2024

I have used this plugin for more than 3 years now and I am very pleased with it. I don’t want a plugin that chooses compatible posts itself, thus slowing my page down. Rather I want one where I can do the choosing and the plugin puts it on the page with minimum fuss. Which is exactly what this plugin does. What’s more, when I had a minor layout issue, and ask for support, I got a quick answer that resolved the issue. So thanks for a useful plugin that simply works.

Works perfectly

Simple and light, it is all I need for my project. The Gutenberg integration is pretty cool and UI is easy to work with. Thank you.

Really nice plugin

Customize as you want

I want to control the links as needed. This plugin provides that functionality with a simple implementation.It is a bit basic in appearance, but with a bit of CSS work, you can make it look as you want quite easily.

Good

It is a good plugin, simple and objective, but, the HTML is not encapsulated, the title is out of markup, this made my formatting a bit more complex.

Cool plugin!
