 * It is no longer the same plugin, nor the same original author. Be careful.

 * Giving my free time to help users and I get this kind of review for no reason
   ain’t that nice.
 * Plugin is the same.. I am still the author and the original owner of the plugin.

 * Hi [@idocoh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/idocoh/),
 * Thank you for replying. I completely understand the effort that goes into maintaining
   a free plugin — I really appreciate that.
 * However, my comment wasn’t about ownership, but about **a functional change**.
   
   The **previous version** of the plugin allowed users to **loop any ACF Repeater
   fields** (text, URLs, images, etc.) inside Elementor widgets, using placeholders
   like `#subfield`.
 * The **current version** works exclusively as a **slider/carousel** builder, which
   is a **completely different use case**.
   So users who installed it for the original
   repeater looping feature (like me) will find it no longer serves the same purpose.
 * My intention was simply to warn others who might expect the **old functionality**—
   not to discredit your work.
 * Thanks again for keeping the project alive.
   Best regards,**NicoTo**

 * Thanks for elaborating your point.
 * The case you have describe is not what’s going on with the new version of the
   plugin.
 * It still works like before, just added the option for the repeater to work with
   a Carousel widget (custom one that comes with the updated plugin).
 * The previous features are still there, just a bit different to implement, read
   the instructions of the plugin, it’s all there with screen shots to help you 
   understand it better.
 * If you have any issue you are more then welcome to open a new support ticket.
