Finally I got it right
by danielepais·5 years ago

I was having issues with the very annoying logout confirmation but with this plugin is finally gone.

So good, I didn’t need it.

I think it deserves five stars when the instructions tell you what you can do to NOT use it and still get what you want. Can’t ask better than that!

Excellent, great, awesome yes it is!
