Installed without issue and even notified me to set the stylesheets settings (I neglected to do so initially) on the page preview. Lots of options; really couldn’t ask for more! I’m so glad it worked out as well as it did, as I really wanted to give this 5 stars in the first place due to that spiteful first rating!
