Optimizations

Attributes that need to be fixed:
  • Tags: Too many tags (15 tag instead of maximum 10); only the first 5 tags are used in your directory listing
The official readme.txt is a good inspiration

The main PHP file in "Access Control by Category" ver. 1.2.1 adds more information about the plugin and also serves as the entry point for this plugin
