I’ve had a license for WP Extended since it was born, and I’ve enjoyed watching it grow in sophistication. I really like that it’s modular. This does things that I would normally have to deal with via code snippets or additional plugins. This plugin has become a part of my “new site base stack” – only possible because of the modularity and subsequent small footprint. Awesome tool.
