  • Works as it should

    I installed Sydney Toolbox on Wordpress 5.7 with my Sydney theme and it works flawlessly. I can confirm the plugin is fixed and replaces my old toolbox plugin. I can recommend this plugin. Thank you for providing it!

  • DO NOT UPDATE

    This causes an error with the site to the point it does not allow the site to even start. No way to fix it unless you remove the files via ftp or go back to an older backup/snapshot. Completely removed it now. Ridiculous they have not fixed it in months.
