by ABCDiamond·6 years ago
Your plugin is working well. Ande I see that you are still supporting this, as you answered someones support question just a few weeks ago.
I am using your Version 1.7.4, with WordPress 5.2.3
But you might like to know that some users might be warned about it, like this:

Great plugin, Great Support, Recommended

Using Webaware’s List Pages on several PHP.x web sites. Support for a broken update was excellent with a very rapid resolution.
Very much appreciated because we use the code in many places.
