Works, but not much you can do with it from the Admin page. Maybe updates will come but the status says no updates for 7 months (as of Dec. 2019).

It’s not working with the latest WP (and using Optimizer theme). First when I had not set any settings, it displayed for a little while, although when I opened my site in another tab (latest FF), it didn’t show at all there, but when I added a product, I did update on the first tab. I then tried the settings to style it (which can only be done to maybe half of the elements of the cart) and to move it over to the right and up a bit. That’s when it completely stopped showing. I deactivated, reinstalled, to no avail.

The plugin is simple and easily setup. The drawback is that it overlaps the header on page, should have option to set position offset. Also when the page loads, first this floating cart will show up on the left, fully expanded, then the rest of the page loads. Makes the well designed websote look shabby.

I didnt really troubleshoot it much, I preferred to restore from a backup BUT seems that once this is installed, you lode the possibility to modify your mega menu (Appearance > Menus)… it doesnt break existing functionality … you cannot modify anything anymore.
