don’t work with wp 4.7

Hello, I want to thank you for this great plugin as I searched for a plugin like this for a long time and didn’t find until I saw this and read its description and its video but it didn’t work with wp

Solid & very useful

I’ve been using this plugin on client sites for years now. Simple interface, easy to use, does what you need. Part of my “essential plugins” list used in all projects.

Unusable after update

Working version removed from archive. Super annoying.

by weblwp

Beware ! Version 1.4.0 breaks the menu

I suspect version 1.4.0 with the “Split Free and Premium version” makes it unusable (without notice).

Thank You. This plugin is exactly what I was looking for!

This plugin is incredibly useful!
