What can I say…it does what it is supposed to do. Just upload, activate…and walk away. It does the heavy lifting for you. Great job Anh Tran! When I saw you had developed this plugin, I knew you had made it just as good as your Metabox plugin and I could trust it to do what you said it would do. You knocked this one out of the park on this one buddy. Great plugin, highly recommended.
