IMPORTANT NOTE: CMS “like wordpress and joomla” installation is no longer supported, although the plugin could easily run in any CMS, Unfortunately Many users don’t have the technical skill to do it, there were lots of confusion, so I decided it’s better to drop support for it.

If you have the basic technical skill & were able to install it, i will still support the plugin “nothing specific to the CMS”
