  • The only one up-to-date

    I installed it and works, this is the only plugin seems to be so smart, up-to-date, however you may need to know that this plugin will reached outside its stated job and will edit one of your Discussion settings. It does it carefully - saves the old value, restores on deactivate - but it did write to your database, and that's not obvious from the name.
