The plugin is not working

The plugin is not working. I paid for the service, checked all the settings. After pressing the check button, the page is updated, but nothing changes, and the limits are not written off. This

worthless plugin, reporting cookie consents as plagiarism

I’ve spent 15$ to get hundreds of matches for… cookie consent pop-up. What a BS.

The plugin works great for detecting plagiarism

I personally installed the plugin in my site to detect plagiarised content that i did not notice before. and well just for 10$ I got almost unlimited credits to check for it on product and posts pages

Still kinda working.

It’s kind of working. I uploaded a bulk of 150 pix. all with a very simple name A10.jpg A11.jpg and so on. The Plugin worked. Some old versions of the images still remain in some part of the website.

Was a great plugin but doesn’t work any more

I used this plugin for years and found it super helpful but it doesn’t work any more with WordPress 5.2 and I had to de-install it. A pity it wasn’t maintained!
