 * I uploaded and activated the plugin, but I don’t see it anywhere in the admin
   area. There is no menu item or options panel anywhere. Any suggestions?

 * Hi awarren,
    This plugin is not an admin style setup plugin but a functional 
   code type plugin.
 * In a theme you would create a child theme and add code into the functions.php
   file to show the meta-boxes in the admin section.
 * Regards
 * David
