After activating the plugin, the admin panel becomes unavailable – it is redirected
to alien.de/news when the menu item is overloaded Add: Also plugin files in the 
wrong encoding.

Advertises itself to look free, but you can only use ten boxes. What’s the point?
Feels like cheapo shareware to me. I’ll just paste the media myself and add the 
link.

Removed all the style buttons above the main text field in posts and pages edit.
Problem might be related to your custom icon adding.

That was really needed, because the automatic URL detection failed sometimes at 
very different designed WordPress templates. This is the WordPress plugin, what 
I exactly needed. I use it now and will use it in the next years for sure.
