Works great – when you can find MyWebsiteAdvisor to download it. (Currently, that
site is down). 2016.09.30

And when restoring via FTP all the backup files just tons of errors.. Don’t waste
your time with this plugin.

### 󠀁[free version worked, paid broke wp-admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/free-version-worked-paid-broke-wp-admin/)󠁿

I tested the free version which worked well, so I bought Ultra for $20. Developer
didn’t send me the plugin for 2 days (2 days of emailing, tweeting and posting on
his site). I uploaded Ultra to my site, activated it, and wp-admin was then dead.
Deleted the files via FTP, wp-admin worked again. This fail is 100% repeatable. 
That’s not the worst part. The developer REFUSES to give a refund, says he has a
no refund policy. He’s not answering my emails now either. So much for his “premium
support of you buy Ultra”. Stay very far away from this guy. I’m off to Paypal to
protest the charges, wish me luck. Allison Sheridan NosillaCast Mac Podcast at http://
