 * …first, fantastic plugin. It works great, does its job, looks good, etc. Thank
   you for the effort and producing such a useful plugin.
 * Second, the following is not a complaint, but rather my effort to help make the
   plugin better.
 * There seems to be an issue that occurred after version 3.1.3 (IE, the issue occurs
   with version 3.2.0 and 3.2.1). Just so you know, although I don’t think it would
   really contribute to the issue, I’m using WordPress 5.6.1 with PHP 7.3.24 running
   on a CentOS 7 system with Apache 2.4.6.
 * The issue has to do with the Deactivator.php file and the function that displays
   the “Sorry to see you go…” HTML message. Specifically, the HTML with the “Sorry…”
   all the way to the “Skip and Deactivate” Button is displayed on the admin activation
   screen if another plugin is installed, for those plugins that have an “activated”
   message page. Additionally, the same message is displayed at the bottom of other
   plugin admin pages (Image Map Pro is the only one I can recall at the moment).
   The HTML message also flashes up briefly when searching for a new plugin.
 * In other words, the function in the deactivation.php file to display the “Sorry…”
   message seems to get called incorrectly (even if your plugin is activate and 
   has not been deactivated) and displays its message in a lot of places. And the
   places it displays it are always to the far left of an admin page, underneath(
   lower CSS Z-Index) than the WordPress Admin Menu. At no time does the message
   appear on any “public” web pages, just admin pages.
 * Anyway, thanks again for developing the plugin…

 * I’m also getting “Would you mind telling us why are you deactivating it?” on 
   my plugin page because of this plugin. Please fix this asap [@mukto90](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mukto90/)
