Hi,
Sorry to hear that you are having issues with the plugin. Maybe I could log in to your site’s admin to check what’s going on? If that’s possible – my private email is [email protected].

Great plugin, easy to use.

The plugin is causing slowness and error connection on my webstore on the server. Any chances of fixing or knowing why. Thanks.

Hi,
Maybe you can create/share an admin account to your server (WP and preferably FTP), so I could login and check what’s going on. If that’s possible – my private email is [email protected].
noname –
where is a sample view! won’t buy unless I can see what it looks like
Tom Anbinder –
I’ve just updated the plugin description and added frontend view screenshot there. Also – probably best way to see how it looks on frontend is to try the free version.
Hope that helps.
