### 󠀁[Really good](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/used-to-be-good-13/)󠁿

I previously wrote the below review, but suddenly the button on TinyMCE has reappeared
so now I am using this plugin again and am really happy to be doing so. I now think
the issue of the disappearing button is more to do with WP than the plugin 5 stars
previously now only 1. It no longer appears in the TinyMCE menu and with no choices
to put it there. Now difficult to use whereas it used to be one click.

First – this plugin is great. It does exactly what is advertised, gives you some
basic control, and gives articles that small touch of dramatic, professional looking
flair. My only issue (and it is tiny) is that on the home page where the list of
most recent posts is, the articles are displayed as pictures with teaser text. The
first character on all of my teaser texts is clipped off. I’m not sure if anything
can be done about this. Definitely not a deal breaker, but it’d be nice to have 
it sorted out if possible. Otherwise, keep up the great work!

My apologies for the delay in reviewing your Simple Drop Cap plugin, as I have been
using it for the past two years on three sites. It provides a simple, effective 
dropcap on every post, every time. If you’re new to WordPress, then give Simple 
Drop Cap a try: it’s easy to understand and even easier to use. Thanks and keep 
on keepin’ on!

The settings are in board “settings > simple drop cap” responsive is not functional.
one star less. but maybe we can add css in style sheet…

[dropcap]This[/dropcap] is a fast, efficient way to add the style I needed to complete
the old-fashioned hand-set typographic look of a website about silent cinema. Here’a
an example of its use: silentcinemasociety.org. The drop cap actually drops a bit
lower than I’d like — the top of the cap should align with the top of the ascenders—
but I can probably fix that in their css field, or upgrade to pro which is very 
inexpensive. A character closer to professional typography for WordPress! Thank 
you.

It’s a very useful plugin. No clutter, a simple to use shortcode and optional custom
css.
