    Important Notice: Backup and Test Before Installation

    Before installing any MBH Plugin, we strongly recommend:

    1. Backing Up Your Website: Ensure you have a complete backup of your site, including files and database, to safeguard against unexpected issues.
    2. Testing in a Staging Environment: Always test new plugins on a staging site to identify potential compatibility issues without affecting your live site.

     

MBH Plugins are thoroughly tested, but due to the wide range of themes, plugins, and configurations, conflicts may still occur.
By proceeding with installation, you acknowledge responsibility for taking these precautions.
