No one wants spam published on their websites. This plugin needs to be permanently
banned.

### 󠀁[Hacked!!! DO NOT USE IT!!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-do-not-use-it/)󠁿

 [Joe Hana](https://profiles.wordpress.org/joehana/) September 9, 2017

Since this plugin has been purchased by someone else it got worse. It’s now the 
3rd or 4th time the plugin has been taken offline to get fixed, to appear back online
for a few days only to get kicked from the Repo again. There must be serious issues
with it. DO NOT USE IT UNLESS THE DEVELOPER PROPERLY FIXES IT AND PUBLISHES A STATEMENT
where he/she explains what happened and what they did to fix it.

 [CobraClutch](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cobraclutch/) June 15, 2017

One of the most appreciated plugins in my arsenal. Saves me from creating additional
page templates and sidebar areas.

All the widget filtering I need in just one plugin. Thank you for this, and I wish
for this plugin to last.
