  • This is Great!

    What I like about this plugin is that it doesn't show a custom graded shiny new page design with complex options and shove it down your throat with premium options. It's simple and does what it's intended to do. 5 stars from me.

  • Simple, technically sound and does its job well

    Have been using this plugin for a while and it works reliably! Keeps the database lighter by clearing unnecessary auto-drafts without affecting published content and the scheduling options are very helpful too. Simple, technically sound and does its job well.
