### 󠀁[Unsupported, causes errors](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unsupported-causes-errors/)󠁿

Unfortunately this plugin doesn’t capable of doing it’s work. It’s incompatible 
with the modern PHP versions which is causing errors. The problem with http/https
is described in the other users’ reviews. The purpose of this 1-star review is to
drop down the rating of this formerly great plugin so users won’t waste their time
on it.

a bunch of http links without https that cause unlock padlock in the browsers 🙁
