Reviews

5. August 2019.
It is very useful plugin to add additional subtitle within the widget without writing any extra HTMLs. With different positioning and shortcode support, I am not able only to output Simple text but can easily add shortcodes just like working with default widget title. The plugin developer is quick and very fast and helped me to solve a problem in less than 5 minutes.
