Worked Easily and Flawlessly
I don't know why this isn't a standard with Wordpress, but am so grateful this developer saw the need and created a functioning, lightweight, easy to use option! Highly recommend this.

It's incredible...
... that WP doesn't offer this functionality on its own :D Great plugin, works like a charm.

Fantastic! Thank you.
Thank you so much for this plugin. Elegantly does what I needed two plugins to do before, with less setup and better functionality.
