This plug-in works so well it hasn’t needed any updates for 2 years. Nothing out there matches it. However, because it hasn’t been updated in so long my security software is now flagging it as “abandoned.”
Please “update” the plug-in! (Maybe to include not stripping formatting from the excerpt?)

This plugin is really excellent. It works for me with WordPress 5.7. I would be nice that the Developer makes a test and declare the plugin compabible (or not) for the last version of wordpress.
