The latest version (1.1.2) works perfect. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8836d447875368457cce5158c35e0fb0bb13419e7bd1173f62d06c4be0a1b3bf? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Refund policy all but not user friendly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/refund-policy-all-but-not-user-friendly/)󠁿 [robertj_w](https://profiles.wordpress.org/robertj_w/) July 16, 2017 1 reply Bought this plugin hoping that it can manage files on the server physically, as the "REAL" in the name name sugests. It was not clear to me when I read the description. The GUI is pretty nice but the file management is purely virtual what means that in fact all files stored reside in native WP directories, eg. 2017/05. I removed the plugin from the server and tried to get refeund for my purchase. My request was withdrawn. It is a strange policy since you cannot even test the plugin within your own environment. Other developers give you at least 8 days to test the full version of a plugin before purchase. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/168d68f4a235d6ec2e289a7f98543b15250a33ef342699138e7672dcedecdaf0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Essential Plugin for Advanced Custom Fields Users](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-selection-of-rml-folders-is-missing/)󠁿 [Jon Dennis](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jondennis/) June 21, 2017 1 reply Hi Matthias Great work on rewriting this plugin.
