Hello
Thanks for your awesome plugin.
I use it in my marketplace. There are a few suggestions.
This is probably the only one of its kind on the wordpress plugin market and I am so happy it not only works, but that it had been updated. Works perfectly fine for WordPress 6.6. Thank you so much for this!
Thank you for this plugin!
Hace meses que no se actualiza y da mensajes de error al intentar configurarlo.
It only shows “Settings could not be saved.” and does nothing. In support section there is several topics for this issue without answer or solution.
