User reviews

I’ve been a loyal user of this extension for a long time and truly love it! However, recently, I've encountered an issue that’s been bothering me: I can no longer remove the search bar widget once it's added. I accidentally added two search bars, and now I'm stuck with them. My page is already filled with important shortcuts, so this is becoming a hassle. I kindly request that you consider adding a feature to remove existing widgets. I attempted to manually edit the JSON, but the formatting got messed up. I'm eagerly awaiting an update to resolve this issue. Thank you so much!

I like the extension. Very useful. Just one issue - I added one more search widget to SquarePAGE by mistake. I can't find how to remove it. Can you advise please? Thank you.
