  • Amazing!

    This is an amazingly effective and easy to use plugin. I went out searching for some code to adapt to my pages to do this same thing. Even about to hire someone on Fiverr. And then I came across the Content Mask plugin. It does exactly what I need in two steps. Thank you! Donation coming.
