Great Timesaver!

I backed up a site then brought the staging site live, only to find out they’d ‘forgotten’ several important documents that had been on the old site but not the new one. I was able to restore the file

So useful!

The ideal tool for adding media files via FTP to the media library.Thanks a lot to the developer!

Completly hang the admin

The page simply hangs the server, Javascript crash, when it finally works counts are completly off. I’m not trusting this quality of code with my database.
