Having a review done by us or having an interview helps the traffic to the developers website, as was bought to our attention recently when we did an interview and reviewed a plugin for a developer who sent us snap shots of their traffic before and after the shows. The traffic stayed, so there are great benefits to being reviewed by WP Plugins A to Z. Submit Your Plugin Here.

Freemiuim Plugin
Customize Facebook Feeds
https://weblizar.com/plugins/facebook-feed-pro/
The Lowdown:
Setup seems to be pretty easy for the most part once installed and activated you need to go create your feed. Enter the URL of your Facebook page, group or profile make some adjustments to the layout as you see fit with lots of options to choose from. There are a few things you will need the Pro version to be able to make some changes.
With the free version you can only have one feed but with pro you can have as many as you like. And you get additional functionality such and widgets and more.
While I would like to give this a good rating i cannot as I was having issues with the Facebook feed token generation for it. You may want to give this a try and see if you can get it working it does look promising. I’ll have to leave this one with a non rating at this time as I am unconfirmed if it is working or now
Unrated at this time.

Remove Pointer from Blank Menu Items
https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-pointer-from-blank-menu-items/
The Lowdown:
Using a hash symbol as a custom link is a great way to create non-clickable menu items when you want to add a sub-menu. However, it still appears clickable to the end-user, which may be confusing. This plugin will automatically remove the href so it no longer looks clickable
