It looks like the plugin is abandoned. Moreover, I bought a Pro version but it doesn’t work and nobody replies via the support email. I can’t even access my license key because the password restore doesn’t work on their website. DO NOT use this plugin!

There is no answer even on the premium version website. The plugin is abandoned, with legacy code and some bugs. Please, choose an alternative decision. Didn’t use this one!
