Unreal !

I tried this after 10 minutes it got released. Few times a day I check for newly released plugins and this showed up (lucky me !!!). I am giving it 5 stars, even though videos or images are not showing up in the Core's Cover block. It seems that the background color is showing, but not the new duotone filters. Tested with WP 5.7.2, and Gut. 10.8.2. For the short 5 minutes of testing everything else seems good to go, even my custom ACF Blocks are perfect ! Developing on my localhost and communicating with clients without resorting into in person meetings, images, or videos, will save me time and energy. I wonder if there are any security implications if I use it on a dedicated machine, which is always going to be on and the localserver always running. With that, doing some domain forwarding can this be used as a "homemade" web server for an actual live website (of course for a very low traffic - unless you will bring in some redundant T1 lines)? That would be interesting, VERY interesting actually !!! Thanks a million, and keep up the good work. P.S. I for got to mention that in the backsite in the plugin's page 2 warnings are showing up... I'm using php v7.2.7 Warning: Use of undefined constant _S_VERSION - assumed '_S_VERSION' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in C:\xampp\htdocs\2qtblocks\wp-content\plugins\localhost-to-ip\form.php on line 21 Warning: Use of undefined constant _S_VERSION - assumed '_S_VERSION' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in C:\xampp\htdocs\2qtblocks\wp-content\plugins\localhost-to-ip\form.php on line 22
