  • Awesome plugin

    Thank you for creating this plugin. It's great. Simple, easy to configure, looks neat and clean, and with no bugs. The only thing I'm missing is the option to open certain links in new window. Can it be added? In any case, good job with this one!

  • GREAT

    Hello Excellent plugin! Congratulations! Thank you for creating the plugin. One big downside: In part it lacks "Shop Manager" This is very embarrassing. Can you put in place? Thank you
