No support for PHP version 8.0 or later

The plugin don’t seem to work from PHP version 8.0 and above.

by Lockhart

Worked Easily and Flawlessly

I don’t know why this isn’t a standard with WordPress, but am so grateful this developer saw the need and created a functioning, lightweight, easy to use option! Highly recommend this.

It’s incredible…

… that WP doesn’t offer this functionality on its own 😀 Great plugin, works like a charm.
