Does not work w/ Cornerstone Version 2.1.7+ Xtheme Version: 5.2.5

Does not work w/ Cornerstone Version 2.1.7+ Xtheme Version: 5.2.5. It worked with previous versions but doesn’t work anymore. It was fun while it lasted. Maybe the author will update.

Does not work with WordPress 5.9.1

Unfortunately you cannot create posts or pages when version 0.1.8 of this plugin is active with WordPress 5.9.1

Completely useless

Not doing anything with WP 5.8. And sadly, this is the 3rd and the last available plugin I tried with no luck.

Very good extension :-)

This makes life easier for local development. I use it with ngrok to show my projects to my clients 🙂 That works well! Do not forget to deactivate it when you put your website on the final server onl
