  • Impressed! | Unequaled Performance and Support

    If you're looking for simplicity, performance, and support in a plugin, this one is it. It works "out of the box" and does exactly what it says. Support is phenomenal as well. Job well done. Thank you!

    Thanks for this great idea. It should be native option in wordpress :)

  • Great Little Plugin - Clean Code

    This is just what I needed! Did never like the tie to Gravatar. And the little donation reminder doesn't bother me at all. :) Kudos!

  • Enough with the donation requests!

    Irritating pop up asking for donations ALL THE TIME. Choosing the button that says "Hide for 1 month" actually hides until the next screen refresh - you want a review? Here's mine. THIS IS AN IRRATATING PLUGIN - DONT DOWNLOAD IT.
