<h4>Help support us with a coffee donation</h4>
<p>Don’t you just hate it when you download a plugin and you find out that in order to use it you have to buy a pro version?</p>
<p>Even bigger problem is when you use a plugin and then just out of the blue the developer decides to add a pro version and he either changes the way the plugin works or he converts some of the free functions to paid ones.</p>
<p>We sure did hate that and a few years back we decided to start creating some of the plugins ourselves and we decided to share them all with the WordPress community <strong>100% FREE</strong>.</p>
<p>Nowadays we have more than 15 plugins and you can download and use them all for free by <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/yydevelopment/" rel="ugc">Clicking Here</a>.</p>
<p>If you liked this plugin and you want to help support our cause, <a href="https://www.yydevelopment.com/coffee-break/?plugin=yydevelopment-related-posts" rel="nofollow ugc">buy us a coffee</a>. Studies show that coffee helps with creating WordPress plugins.</p>
