War so la la als kostenloses Plugin. Für Updates, auch Sicherheitsupdates, wollen sie dich zu einem Pro-Abo zwingen. Deinstalliert.

by Creative Karen·2 years ago
I created my own member area dashboard because I needed it to be customized and not membership-based! this useful plugin totally solved my issue of restricting content to logged-in users only. it works perfectly with the most recent update – but would love to have the ” compatible with your version ” stamp for peace of mind 🙂 please update it – it’s great !!!!
Works perfectly
