Rentalot Plus Plugins
Component and Plugin Compatibility
New versions of the Rentalot Plus plugins are sometimes, but not always, compatible with older versions of the Rentalot Plus component. A full compatibility matrix would be very complicated, so to avoid any problems, when you upgrade a plugin, please upgrade the component and the other plugins at the same time. If this means you need a few more downloads, please email us.

This new plugin supersedes all three previous article plugins. It combines the functions of all the article plugins into a single plugin and provides several new features.
