  • Works as expected

    This plugin provides exactly what promised in a nice and friendly way. I also appreciate the small donation notice. No further ads and other annoyances. Can only afford to write a nice review.

  • Simple yet effective solution for pending post notifications

    This plugin addresses a not well used but important feature. When there's a pending status of a post for review and approval, how is site admin or editor supposed to know? Dashboard widget showing pending posts is the simplest and appropriate solution. thanks for the good work.
