The plugin is cool but the option of displaying a LARGE ads on the front end is too aggressive and not quite nice in the eyes of the public.

This is not a review, but a comment from the plugin author, as the last two reviews are very misleading. Firstly, the FREE version of this plugin is FULLY FEATURED and the only difference is that it shows some advertising. So please test out this version, or use it in your site, having a link back to the plugin is a small price to pay for free fully featured software that has taken hundreds of hours of development. If the free version doesn’t work for you, the paid version won’t work either. Secondly, at €29 for the full lifetime non advert version for one site, with no further charges, this is not expensive and compares well to any other paid plugins out there. Thirdly, this model of licensing plugins is the RECOMMENDED way of licensing WordPress plugins. All of WordPress’s own plugins work like this (e.g. Akismet). I really don’t think it’s too much to ask to make some small return on all the work that has gone into this.

I’m all for donating or paying for a plugin if it does what I need but this plugin page does not say anywhere that it is not free so why should we install the plugin only to find out I have to pay 29.99 for it to work without even testing it to see if it does what i need it for

The plugin requires a paid (and expensive) licence key to provide any functionality isn’t this a violation of the plugin repository terms of service?
