Good for a second blog, easy to set up... BUT, there was a security issue I thought they fixed, but Wordfence has just notified me (again) that it is still not fixed, listing the version that goes with the last update they did here a couple days ago... So dang...!

The plugin does what it should. No more, no less. So ok But after WPOnlinesupport got your email address, they trash you with SPAM emails. "Buy these great accessories ..." Not once a week, not twice - no, sometimes 4-5 times a week such an email is annoying. This is just crap. Sorry - but I'm not going to buy anything from you like that. And only one star because of the SPAM mails.

Do NOT bother to pay for the premium upgrade, aka pro upgrage, aka essential upgrade, and all the other names they have for the same thing. It doesn't work, and their customer service is TERRIBLE. Their "14 day refund policy" is a total lie and they won't honor it! When you try to cancel within 14 days, they'll come up with ANY excuse to not honor it. JUST READ THEIR TERMS AND CONDITIONS and you can tell that the refund policy is setup so that they can look for ANY excuse to not honor it!! For me, they tricked me into thinking the premium plan started on a certain day (by sending me a confirmation email that said the purchase date was that day), and then they wouldn't honor the 14 days after that purchase date in the confirmation email. Their excuse was that they are in India so the timezone is different than the US. AVOID THIS COMPANY! I will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau.
