Breaks Pagination

The plugin breaks pagination by redirecting /page/# to the homepage. Mentioned in various ways in the support area.

Simple and works great

Using in the latest version, glad it got an update! It resolved for us when WP is not selecting the right picture for FB sharing. Definately recommend.
