Inserts ads into your website without consent

ChadMaestro March 20, 2024

Great plugin but I’ve just disabled it as it automatically inserted ads into my website – no idea when this occurred but I assume it’s been a long time. I’ve got it noted that I will never run adverts on my website, so this was extra frustrating. No options to disable the ads, either, and the pro version makes no mention of advertising being disabled once purchased.

FATAL ERROR

Hi I have the pro version and it gives fatal error when activated…can you please fix this?

Lot of potential, but no support.

NOMORE September 9, 2021

I feel grateful to see many plugins like this who offers resources that original plugins don’t give any importance. Disqus Conditional Load are a wonderfull plugin for his proposal, make pages load a lot better from the awfull (performance wise) original Disqus plugin. But all this going to the ground when you have some simple bugs that are asked in support thread that Author just ignore. This bugs makes pages prevents load faster… and this is not the main purpose of this plugin? Then all his (and ours) efforts to make this plugin works are for nothing… I feel really sad, that this absence from free plugins authors are everyday more present in Wordpress community, making another CMS options everyday more interesting and better than the main Wordpress objective. I really feel a great lack of responsibility and it’s very frustrating. Of course I will never buy a pro version of the plugin for any of my Agency client sites, I don’t feel any confidence that I will have any support in case of problems and will lose money… But it is interesting that anyone who asks for support here when mentioning the word PRO in the topics is answered. Those who don’t do this are ignored…

Exactly what I was looking for
