After reviewing and carefully checking out the functions and features I decided last year to buy the Pro Version. The reason why I bought it is that I am convinced about the strengths* *of this large Plugin-Collection and the useful* *Allrounder Theme Nexter. Even in the free version they offer already a vast amount of free usable* *functions. It is all in one. Many additional Plugins I used before I scratched due the functions/blocks are already included in Nexter Blocks. It also supports Elementor. The whole package is all in one and they still go on and add more from time to time. I appreciate* *a tool like that. Also they offer lifetime prices which I prefer to monthly subscriptions. I had no major problems, mostly like usual a 3rd party plugin is interfering and could be resolved with common sense. If the support was needed it was handled all the times friendly, fast and competent and very eager to resolve the problem. One Feature of the Nexter Theme I want to highlight: The Theme-Builder which let you create the design of all pages (archive etc.) and Headers, Footers etc. Very convenient and easy to use. All in all the perfect tool for me, not bloated like my previous used Divi-Builder (which was also good and ambitious, but the Future goes to WordPress intern Gutenberg Block Builders). The Price is unbeatable especially* *the lifetime versions which are worth every cent. I can only recommend all The PlusBlocks and Nexter Stuff.* [*~@visualboxdesignlab *](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nexter-blocks-nexter-theme-view-after-1-year/) **Subscribe our Newsletter, get Monthly & Weekly Product updates, News and more....✉️** ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What are the new features in Nexter Blocks 4.1.4?** A: Nexter Blocks 4.1.4 introduces enhanced pricing table customization, allowing users to set a text hover color for better visual emphasis.
