Nice.

Plugin authors that create free plugins love people complaining and giving a 1-star rating instead of creating a support thread. Fact.

Cam here just to say the auto login link is gone and when I click auto login links I cannot find a link just a useless page. It would be smart to add an option to copy and paste the link.

Unusable after update

Working version removed from archive. Super annoying.

Beware ! Version 1.4.0 breaks the menu

I suspect version 1.4.0 with the “Split Free and Premium version” makes it unusable (without notice).

This plugin is incredibly useful!
