    Plugin works great and does exactly as its name implies. Developer is also very kind, helpful and responsive even though this is a free plugin with no premium version. Thank you very much for your contribution and making WordPress better for everyone 🙂

    I followed all the recommended steps but emails still going to spam. Also, looking through the support forum, I felt some of the response from the author could have been a bitter. { other plugin recommendation removed by moderator } This topic was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by Yui.
