⚠️ Important Notes

WordPress 6.9 Warning

The Plugin Check tool shows a warning about "Tested up to 6.7 < 6.9". This is expected and normal:

  • WordPress 6.9 doesn't exist yet
  • Current stable version is 6.7
  • Plugin is tested with the latest available WordPress version
  • This does NOT prevent WordPress.org approval
  • Will be updated when WordPress 6.8/6.9 is released

System Requirements

🤝 Support

  • GitHub Issues: Report bugs or request features
  • Documentation: See included README.txt and guides
  • WordPress.org: Plugin will be available on WordPress.org soon
