    Use caution - installing this plug-in cost me hours of repair, database recovery. Thank God I had a backup. First, my site entirely disappeared. After I deactivated the plug-in, all my sidebar widgets were missing and almost all of them were custom HTML pasted in for affiliates.
    Maybe it's not ready for 2.8? Maybe I did something wrong? Regardless, a basic activation should never destroy a blog like this plug-in did.

    Plugin author here. I doubt it was my plugin that caused you trouble. It only uses the well-defined plugin interface wordpress offers. If you're interested in debugging, please send me a copy of the backup you've made and tell me which wp version you were using.

    Update: Just to clarify, the plugin uses a filter on the stylesheet and template hooks. It is impossible to break anything for visitors.

    I have upgraded the FAQ.

    Oh, and no warranty. Especially not if you use broken themes.
