  • Mega ad banner in the whole admin area

    Well deserved review for implementing a mega advertising banner which appears in the whole admin area, no matter if you are on the plugin settings page or not. I hope this ad pays off.

  • Thx for that nice plugin!

    Thx for that nice plugin, only feature I miss is the multipliable language support e.g. with WPML. At the moment you can only setup one language which will be shown over all private policy pages.

    First, after install entire site was not reachable anymore :-( It needs a php version change in htaccess, then it works.
