No documentation
by mogeh·3 years ago
How would someone implement your plugin if
there is no documentation?
The idea is good but the delivery is poor taste.
not working anymore on wp 5.4.2 anymore

Absolutely useless
by Joe Bloggs·6 years ago·1 reply
This plugin is absolutely useless without any instructions on how to actually fetch the icon after it has been assigned to a taxonomy term.
No support what’s so ever, support questions unanswered, figure out for your self kind of thing.
Well done guys!
