Very nifty plugin
Just the functionality I was wishing for.
Useful
This is a useful plugin, especially now that other people are working on the site and I need to figure out how they screwed up.
I love it!
It is really useful to be able to see when things have been done, in particular when something has gone not-as-expected!

Doesn’t work with Buddyboss
Since v3.9 ou v4, the plugin is useless with BudyBoss : nothing is sent, nothing is stored in the waiting list… It’s a shame, it was very helpful. Hope developers will have the time to work on it!
Essential plugin for WordPress!
