Wordpress plugin (Advanced)

MFN Wordpress plugin

For experienced Wordpress users, there is our Wordpress plugin, which integrates with Wordpress's own database and thereby offers extended functionality.

Please note that the plugin integrates directly with the Wordpress database, which means that the Wordpress configuration and other plugins can affect the plugin, and sometimes cause problems. This option thus requires some own administration and is mainly intended for experianced Wordpress users.

• Cons: not On Demand

• Requires understanding of the WordPress database
