Excellent plugin, works great.

Happily recommend this plugin, it works fine on latest WP (currently 5.6) and with latest Divi (4.8.2). You can add it more than once to say near the top and bottom footer of the page too.

Does exactly what it says

Couldn’t be easier. It does what is suppose to do and now you can categorize your pages with tags. Best of its kind.
