  • Simple, light and very effective!

    All my compliments to the coder of this little handy plugin. You avoid to me to argue with WordPress database, thank you. I hope you'll keep this plugin simple (and updated, only when will be necessary). UPDATE: Also with Wordpress 5.8.x it works perfectly!
