 * After each update, most of my own modifications go to the trash. After the last
   update to the new version of the plug-in, the whole page has been collapsed and
   is practically to be done from scratch.

 * Hi,
 * if you are losing your customization after each update, it means that you are
   doing customization the wrong way.
 * Every single WordPress plugin works like that.
 * Updates overwrite plugins files, any change made to any file is lost.
 * So I guess your 1 star review is really for WordPress…
 * Thanks anyway

 * Nope. I had something about 40 additional CSS classes in “customization” tool.
   After update only 6 works. What happened with others? New version of plugin has
   new css classes, which are not compatible with old classes.

 * Yes, V2 is completely different software.
 * The huge update notice should have raised at least the doubt.

 * If you read documentation, you’ll see:

 * **Breaking Changes**
 * **Customization for V1 will not work for V2 in most cases. This includes PHP,
   HTML and CSS customization.**
 * Basically you are giving us 1 star, because you did upgrade without paying attention
   to our alerts.
 * Thank you!
 * p.s. If this happened after upgrading to v2,
 * > After each update
 *  is an exagerration too… correct?
