Still works with WP6.3

I almost didn’t try this plugin because of the notice that it hasn’t been tested with the latest versions. Glad I did because it works great – does exactly what it says and is easy to use 🙂

This is such an elegant way to present your users with the option of editing the text of your archives. I simply installed it and after modifying my theme a bit, I was up and running. Fantastic idea,

A useful and well implemented plugin. If you’re going to use any other post-type global fields it’s better to replace this plugin with a custom field and put all of those on a single options page, but
