### 󠀁[Well Thought-Through Plugin with Great Potential](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/well-thought-through-plugin-with-great-potential/)󠁿

 [Nina15](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nina15/) September 3, 2016

All in all a great plugin that does what it promises but what a shame that the knowledgeable
developer has abandoned further updates and neglects the minor support requests.
It would serve the WP community a great deal if plugin kept up-to-date as the developer
deserves high recognition for the excellent code.
