No Support!

Seems that Lester Chan is not supporting this plugin. I am currently unable to update the plugin in WordPress without issues. He is not responsive. The plugin was also supposed to report the rating

Very great plugin

Very great plugin, so far it works very well and meets expectations. The only thing I have a problem with is getting comfortable with adding custom icons, preferably as a path to the icon directory in
