Great And Unpopular Plugin!!!!

This plugin solved a problem I’ve been trying to solve for almost one week now. I’ve been jumping from one popular plugin to another in vain. But this simple plugin did the trick as soon as installed

I don’t understand what this module does, because what it says it does just doesn’t work, it just doesn’t work.
