User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the WordPress plugin for its simplicity, ease of setup, and effective presentation of author information. They value the plugin's clean design, customization capabilities, and efficient support. It seamlessly integrates with other systems and different WordPress versions, enhancing the author bio's aesthetic appeal and functionality. Users also find the latest post tab a valuable feature. However, the plugin has notable drawbacks, including limited social media options in the free version, issues with profile image uploads, and insufficient multilingual support. Some users report bugs and inadequate customer support, particularly for the pro version. Additionally, unwanted features like forced appearances in non-author accounts can be frustrating.

I love that plugin, but I’ll probably have to switch to another solution since I’d like to go multilingual. Unfortunately, Starbox doesn’t seem to be compatible with WPML. That’s unfortunate for Starbox lovers.

Pleasant and efficient. Many thanks to the developers. Works well with php 8.1 and wp 6.2. Better than other free plugins 😉

Fisrt time that I see such a simple plugin to use, very convenient and easy for the settings. But the support is fantastic. I wanted to tweak a little bit, and immediately I received all the solutions. Bravo !
