Description
❗ Unfortunately, CodeLights no longer supports SiteOrigin Page Builder natively due to the SiteOrigin’s complete change of widgets API. Workaround: you still can create a CodeLights shortcode in a plain text editor, and add this shortcode to the SiteOrigin editor.
❗ Developers Wanted: If you can help to improve and develop this 100K+ active installs plugin, and become one of authors, please fork Convertful, and create pull requests with your improvements.
