HUGE drawback

Still works with 5.3

last update was years ago but it still works with WP 5.3

by Gomisan

3 versions on and it still works!

Unlike another plugin with a similar name, this plugin still works just fine with my WordPress sites and themes. A real shame that it has been abandoned, and I’d love to see an ‘updated’ version by so
