Another One

Hi,

Thanks for inquiring about the Website Toolbox WordPress Forum Plugin.

WordPress classifies our plugin as free since it is free to download and install. However, you do have to purchase a subscription from Website Toolbox to use our forum hosting. Plans start at as little as $5 per month! Here is our pricing information page:

The advantage of choosing a paid service is that we manage all of the software, servers, and headache for you, so that you can focus on growing a vibrant community. Customer support, spam prevention, and rock solid infrastructure come in handy too!

Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!

And you’re proud of your deception.

A plugin you have to pay to use is not free.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback.

I apologize for the confusion. We try to display our product information links prominently in our plugin description so that potential users will clearly know the costs associated with our service. Our intention is definitely not to deceive users. WordPress just classifies the plugin as free since it can be downloaded and installed for free.

I apologize for any inconvenience. We will look into ways we can make it clearer that a subscription with Website Toolbox will be required to use the plugin.

Thanks!
