Reviews

April 18, 2020
This plugin has potential. It could do without all the checks between editing and publishing. Three would suffice for me. But over all not too bad. Some of the terms could be changed for better understanding on what to do. I got how to do it in the end of trying it out. Love to see what more it can do when the other plugins are done for it.
