Readme Generator

This Readme file was generated using wp-readme, which generates readme files for WordPress Plugins.

The simplest way to install the plugin is to use the built-in automatic plugin installer. Go to plugins -> Add New and then enter the name of the plugin to automatically install it.

If for some reason the above method doesn’t work then you can download the plugin as a zip file, extract it and then use your favourite FTP client and then upload the contents of the zip file to the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation and then activate the Plugin from Plugins page.

Will this plugin work in PHP 5.2.x?

Will this plugin support PHP 5.2.x in future?

No. Please update your PHP version to 5.3 or higher. PHP 5.2.x is very old and has lot of security issues.
