Side Menu Lite – Sticky Floating Side Menu


Thank you very much for removing a feature without explicit notice, and even breaking my site!



Removing the icons from the free version without announcing beforehand is an ill move. And with the update, the side menu stopped working (just displayed the contents on the bottom of the page) until I went in to the menu configuration, did absolutely nothing and saved. Now it at least shows up again.



The icons are still listed as a feature, though. In the plugin itself, they are listed as a pro feature.



It was fun while it lasted. But how can I ever trust a developer who REMOVES features without prior notice?
