Thanks again! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/642867fb2760887b18459027f0b55a0f1c8355c47cf584ef7c2bda0c187eb9c5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/poor-support-159/)󠁿 [worleyrh](https://profiles.wordpress.org/worleyrh/) September 13, 2022 6 replies The developers reached out immediately to resolve my concerns. The plugin works very well on the sites I put them on. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/26d79a720ee250d618dbbd27ef2caeb5098345ec97f2f0c8e2258d91aab8b21b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very Nice But](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-nice-but-18/)󠁿 [tradesouthwest](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tradesouthwestgmailcom/) March 20, 2022 This is a very nice plugin to have but, there is no clear or intuitive way to set it up. It seems like the questions in the Setting panel are good questions to have as options but when you go to use the plugin meta boxes in the individual post’s editor, there is no clear way to “do anything” with the plugin. I believe it is lacking the simple instructions as to what each functionality or button is supposed to do. It will say ADD URL, for example, in the post editor metabox. And there is not a way of knowing what the url is or where it is going or what it is going to do if you enter the url. Then it has a widget to add a new image which, I assume is going to be used as the image that is SENT to social media but, that too is unclear as to what the image “does.” Very ambiguous and lacks the UI/UX needed to use in confidence. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/95f134bfa10d68738f6708df24bb95ad4278d3cb8136f216fac86212dc1fa1ff? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great und lightweight plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-und-lightweight-plugin/)󠁿 [Bettina](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bettinag/) August 31, 2021 Works best with my theme. No errors in code or problems with caching. It’s a shame that it is no longer being developed and that the last update was some time ago. Thank you!
