The CSS you provide are not ideal in combination with the theme I’m using (BOSS), but that’s not something you have to care about. Later on I will do more tests and let you know what my thoughts are. Thanks for this plugin. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d89ffd9375cbd9178d578e661d80be31926c783a3846dd7fef3b0cbe05d08f2a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent Support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-support-293/)󠁿 [hijack61](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hijack61/) 9 сар 3, 2016 I could not bring it to work, but that is for sure the problem of my site, as I am always one of the few where it not work. Why I give 5 Stars? Because the support takes really care. Once I get rid of my general problems on the site, I will definitely use it.
