Obnoxious Full-Width Ad on all Admin pages
Constantly showed a full-width ad across all admin pages. Clicking the little X in the corner did nothing. It kept coming back. Not even going to bother using it. Uninstalled.

Don’t purchase Guten Post Layout
I purchased Guten Post Layout Pro. I never got a email with the authorization code. Emailed the company no response, the phone number is disconnected. WordPress should take down their plugin!
