Great plugin
Simply great!
Nice to see what you want to see
I’m not sure why this isn’t something available by default without the need for a plugin. But since it isn’t, it is nice to be able to add it back in where it belongs.

Не работает на WordPress 5.8.3
Обновил движок WordPress до версии 5.8.3 и плагин стал блокировать вставку внешних стилей для таблиц. This topic was modified 4 years, 2 months ago by gmspb.
