How to Download Real-time Notifications

The Real-time Notifications is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file and activate it.

Aimed at sites that depend on retention and interaction between members, Real-time Notifications turns every like, comment or message into a visible alert at the exact moment it happens.
