Great
by dra_red·7 years ago

Just what I was after. Very simple and to the point. Now I don’t have to take steps to ensure I have identified the correct template.

Still awesome.

It’s easy to get lost in so many template files. What Template just makes your live easier. Simple as that.

Thanks for an awesome plugin!
