Be Careful with This Plugin
-
At first, I thought about letting it go and forgetting this plugin, but it’s not fair to stay silent for those who are placing high hopes on it. So here I am, sharing my experience.
If you’re okay dealing with multiple, recurring issues — go for it. But be warned: I received a vulnerability warning from my Hostinger dashboard, stating that this plugin was harming Elementor. My site layout was broken until I deactivated the CoDesigner plugin. Here is the warning I got from Hostinger Dashboard:
Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability discovered by Robert DeVore (Patchstack Alliance) in WordPress Plugin CoDesigner WooCommerce Builder for Elementor (versions <= 4.21)
It seems like they have only one technical support specialist. While he was responsive and tried his best, the issues remained unresolved. They don’t seem to value customers’ time. As long as they keep trying to fix the endless problems, they refuse to issue a refund — which essentially means “all sales are final.”
I wish I had read more 1-star and 2-star reviews before installing this plugin. It wasted so much of my time.
If you’re using the Astra theme, I recommend upgrading to the Pro version. It solved all my problems, and I can now enable one-click checkout and skip the cart page.
For fellow newbies, here’s an honest piece of advice: do not install too many plugins. Instead, upgrade Elementor and your theme. Every plugin you add increases the risk of slowing down your site or causing conflicts — even with something as essential as Elementor, just like CoDesigner did.
