If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. This plugin is a must-have for anyone running a WordPress site. It’s made my life so much easier.

I like that the plugin is up to the point and does what it is supposed to do. However, I believe it vulnerable to hijacks and injections. Since I’ve started using the plugin, some ads appear in new tab once I click on a link to the website. So I uninstalled the plugin and now will look for another solution.

I have used this plugin on several sites, works great, simple interface & I like it a lot. It seems the plugin has not been updated in over 2 years. Possibly it did not need an update. However, are the Authors of the plugin still active in case there is a problem at some point ?
