Despite the fact that it has not been updated for two years, it works fine with the latest and greatest version of Wordpress (4.9.4 at the time of this writing). A cosmetic update to state that would be appreciated! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/aa4e7ae66b93b5d7e6cf69dd3b2fa68b9f702855ca4522f1bb4f5d8c59c3ff59? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works well.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-well-714/)󠁿 [Jason R.
