千万别安装

这个插件会增加两个jQuery文件，而且不会删除旧的，本来一个jQuery变成了3个，我立即禁用了这个插件，结果新增的两个jQuery文件被删除了，可是这两个文件的链接还保留着，出现了两个404的jQuery文件。我无法解决这个问题，最后只得恢复了安装该插件之前的镜像才解决问题。

Semplice da usare

Molto semplice da installare e usare ma comunque ricco di funzioni grazie ai tanti attributi disponibili nello shortcode. Funziona perfettamente su WordPress 6.0.2.
