This plugin is simple and it looks great! I was excited to use it, but when I had questions, nobody answered them. So i deleted it. Shame!

Most popular plugins didn’t work with my custom modal, but yours does. Please don’t abandone it, cause what should I do if it finish to work with new wp versions? Only create my own like this, but I don’t ready for it yet. My review is stupid, but it’s positive and I’m honest. Thank you!

I don’t know why this plugin has no reviews and only a few installs but I’m sure glad I found it! Does exactly what I need and under a 28Kb download size. There are a few premium options available in the set up area but I see no way to purchase them and this plugin is not listed on the developers Website. Perhaps development has ended? Anyway, I looked at all of the heavyweight $$$ swatches plugins and this one was perfect for my needs. Thanks!
