Sadly, installing this added nothing at all. As in …. nothing. An admin panel with an opportunity to enter the subscription code ….. and that’s it. Tried getting support and got an AI chatbot. Not helpful. Finally was able to get a human via chat who asked what our domain was, and didn’t see us in some list. I sent screenshots of our products in the backend at their site, and the subscription code entered on our site ….. and he disappeared. can’t get a human today. I spent four hours yesterday and today on behalf of my client …. for nothing. I’m advising client to get their money back.

Current version is nice and we recently used in couple of client sites but We wish they increase development and start adding more features so we can achieve advanced layouts too.

A user installed this plugin on my network without install_plugins capabilities via StudioPress’s Genesis theme. Today, I got notified that a security fix had been committed for one of the plugins on my network.
I inspected the security fix, and practically, a user was permitted to install this backdoor. No wonder it got 100k+ installs while being a most obscure addition to WordPress.
The Genesis theme also installed a couple of Awesome Motive plugins via this, a company that goes against everything WordPress that I wouldn’t dare to touch with a 10-foot cable. They do this via genesis_do_onboarding_pack_selection(), which checks for manage_options, not install_plugins or is_super_admin(), allowing anyone to hijack an open WordPress Multisite network.
I reported these security issues to them two years ago, but obviously, they still haven’t been resolved. They show no care about your website.
Moreover, this plugin pollutes the global namespace with functions like is_heading() (without a namespace). I don’t know who StudioPress is hiring nowadays, but the senior developers are long gone since its merger with WP Engine.
Amateurs.
You shouldn’t have ignored my previous calls, so enjoy this stain on your record.

I like their blocks but when they upgraded from atomic to genesis I had to change all the blocks for each articles. It took me hours
