Other than what’s said in the title:I’m not using the pro version, but it looks like this plugin has one of the better pro version pricing plans out there.
07 Avqust 2024 1 reply
Hi, I use this (paid) plugin with betheme (but will work similar with all themes that have own portfolio). This plugin automatically overwrites theme portfolio and causes a portfolio content crash, it will just save the featured image. 2. Problem would be fine to switch this feature off before, but you cannot see/access to plugin settings (it’s unvisible) til you deactivate portfolio in your theme. But after you do this, the Visual Portfolio overwrites the theme portfolio and all content made with page builder is no more visible (page not found). Makes me only waste time, this plugin, even paid version.
