 * You should use the [`admin_url`](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/admin_url)
   function for all your external links.
 * Otherwise the plugin doesn’t work with wordpress installations with non-conventional
   url paths like [https://roots.io/bedrock/docs/folder-structure/](https://roots.io/bedrock/docs/folder-structure/)
   and [https://framework.themosis.com/docs/2.0/structure/](https://framework.themosis.com/docs/2.0/structure/)

 * Good point. We’ll add that to the list of development tasks.
