Reviews

Unknown bugs, no support

Emmanuelle de Dardel June 12, 2024

First message without codes to login. Have to wait the reply from the support that does not understand there wasn’t any codes. Then, too complicated to post blog posts on Patreon and correct all the wrong settings in WordPress blog, in a desktop. Sent all the bugs to support 6 weeks ago, then 2 weeks ago and then here 1 week ago. The support was surprised to read my messages. Still no replies then. This one-man-plugin-and-support is not serious and not effective for an annual membership. I don’t recommend it at all.

Evolved to a great plugin

CodeBard January 11, 2017

This plugin was developed for in-house use, then matured to a plugin for release to public. We are using this in a few sites to render support to our users. Its easy to use and extensible. Multiple languages proved to be a great addition.
