 * I am not sure if this plugin has a compatibility issue with the current version
   of WordPress or if it is another problem, but it **crashed** my website upon 
   download and I had to disable the plugin through the file manager in cPanel to
   uninstall and eventually get my site back up and running, which was a cumbersome
   process.
 * I do NOT recommend downloading this plugin under any circumstances as it will
   cause you problems, and as a matter of fact I strongly feel it is highly irresponsible
   for the developer to have not made an attempt to either update or even test the
   plugin to check if it is compatible.
 * Bryan, if you get around to reading this, I would strongly advise you to either
   take down this plugin or update it immediately and ensure it is tested so it 
   does not cause any more problems for users, because it certainly did for me and
   I’m not happy about it.
