Nice plugin, I like that it has a couple of settings so you can uncheck the support
for shortcodes if you’re using a 4.9+ version of WP which now natively supports 
shortcodes…. However, the ‘nag’ message about another plugin by the developer is
highly annoying and does not have an easy way to dismiss as most other notifications
do. I’d be happy to upgrade my opinion and review if the next update to this plugin
provides a way to dismiss this message. As is, I found annoying enough to replace
it with a different plugin.

Honestly I am not actually using your plugin, rather the code behind it. I knew 
this was possible, just couldn’t figure out the correct filters. This plugin saved
me a ton of research. I’ll be dropping those two code snippets into all my themes
moving forwards! Nice work…
