Exactly what I was looking for.

It just works, right out of the box. Plug and play 🙂

Seems to work fine

The plugin does what it says on the tin and haven't noticed any issues with rest of site since activating. I would prefer a regular testing on latest versions of WordPress though as I find the Warning not tested a tad off putting. I like things to be neat and clean!

thank you

Doesn't actually work

By jerrystampfer on December 2, 2021

Great idea but in practice this doesn't work as it simply loops out to the product page and then again and then again....Sorry but perhaps the fact that it hasn't been updated in 7 months should have told me something.

Çalışmadı

Merhaba aradığım eklenti tam olarak bu fakat çalışmadı. Hatta eklentiyi kurduktan sonra karşılaştırma sayfam bozuldu. Yardımcı olabilir misiniz?

Works great!

Solved my 6hr problem in less than a minute

Tried several solutions both code and other plugins to get the quick view buy button to work the same as other buy buttons, opening on new tab. Much appreciation and thanks to the developer Stuart.

It works, but not in my main home page

By rodrigolobato on March 10, 2021

Hi, It works perfectly for almost the entire site, except for the home page. For some reason the showcase of products I have there is still openin in the same tab. I'd like to know if there's a way to change that?
