THANK YOU SOMETHING ACTUALLY WORKS FROM MICROSOFT
Its not common to hear us complimenting Microsoft as of late but I give it up to them - plugin works. Does what it says and havent had any issues whatsoever. Greetings from South Africa

Five Stars All the Way
I see a large percentage of reviews that say the plugin is crap or doesn't work... I am not affiliated with anything Bing and somewhat loathe MS as a rule but, this plugin does everything it says it does, and I love the efficiency of how it auto-post post. Wish GSC was this easy to push URLs.

I don't think it works... 0 Submissions?
I submitted dozens of pages before checking the stats, which declared: 0 Submissions, 0 Failures. Doesn't make sense to me - it must be bust!

Works well, but has a small loading issue
It works as expected, but I noticed that main.6b93cffc.js is constantly reloading. This is slowing down the WordPress dashboard significantly. It would be great if this could be optimized!
