Evidence: Feeling saver with it Yes, I am feeling saver when this fine plugin shows the updated plugins in its green letters in the plugin list… 🙂 ….speaking of “saver” I hope and wish it would be updated itself and will not be abandoned 😉 – compatibility with the newest WP (now 6.5.2) is pending… 😀 Thanks!
