Simple and Without Third-Party Trackings – Please Add WPML Support

Amazing Simple and Honest Plugin. 5 Starts! But please, add support to Multi-language display. I tried to translate my custom message with Loco translation and WPML, but it doesn’t happen.

Good plugin with out all the clutter.

This is such a simple concept and yet every plugin on the market tries to put in so much unnecessary functionality. This plugin is simple and clean and it works. This topic was modified 1 year
