It works as expected. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d64e2a610b15a8f29dcf7b714b4a0c29fb48691989490496cfb12f10ac9fd976? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[The best plugin for what it does!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-best-plugin-for-what-it-does/)󠁿 [Cliff](https://profiles.wordpress.org/drrichbunk/) May 28, 2018 I’ve been using this plugin for a couple of weeks and it has been great. I especially love that I can leave a note to go along with each plugin that I tag as customized. There I can summarize the customization that I’ve done. I don’t often customize plugin files, but sometimes it’s the only way. When go to update plugins in the future, I know I’ll be very happy that I left myself some notes about what changes I made.
