### 󠀁[Big Boy Letter On Every Paragraph Start?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/big-boy-letter-on-every-paragraph-start/)󠁿

I’d give this plugin a 5 especially since all others are pretty bad and or just 
don’t work. The problem with Initial Letter is that even when you check the box “
First Paragraph Only” it shows up on EVERY paragraph. Does anyone have any insight
on how to fix this? Thank you in advance, James P. Williams AceOfJames

Was working okay, until the plugin was unresponsive. The default (whether or not
you want the initial letter in every post to be a drop cap) underneath each post
is switched to “Yes.” While this doesn’t affect all the posts it affected one of
the pages, so that even upon trying to switch it off manually, the plugin stayed
on. This was unacceptable. Two stars because it works. But doesn’t work as optimally
as it should.

Works brilliantly with the Gutenberg editor and much better than the limited “drop
cap” option that ships with Gutenberg. Please update to get rid of the “not tested
with current WP version” message. Either that or sell it to Gutenberg who should
really offer these settings as part of the package. Update 4 years later: App still
works well. Would be happy to donate but the maker seems to have forgotten to keep
updating it.

1. Cannot edit for individual posts. 2. Will show on every first block of text, 
not every page!

I have tried about three plugins that say they do drop caps but most were incompatible
with my site or didn’t work at all. This plugin does the job, looks great and is
very simple to install. A+++
