I hope the developer continues to update it to avoid compatibility issues with future versions of WordPress.

Really impressed

Used with a block-based theme and it worked perfectly. Love that there is no configuration required and it auto-detects <code> and <pre> tags. Great plugin, thank you!

Please keep update to compatible with WordPress version

Your plugin makes me very secure and happy to use because it doesn’t make me dependent, I can disable it without affecting the articles. Good job. I just hope you can keep the plugin up to date to be compatible with new versions of WordPress. Thank you!

Awesome Blossom
