Ajax UX doesn't play well with touch tablets and…

    With all due respect, I detest your Ajax interface and implore you to implement a more sensible user interface for the following reasons:

    1) Your Ajax version does not play well with high-end tablets like the MS Surface Pro 3.

    2) The “help” bubbles do not disappear on tablets. They persist to remain visible.

    3) The look and feel of your Ajax implementation leaves a lot to be desired. The aesthetics feel like something from 2006.

    4) The user interface is completely alien to native WordPress UX best practices. It doesn’t look or act like any of the native WordPress user interfaces.

    I actually paid to upgrade to the “Pro” version — and I have used the non-Ajax version since you first released it years ago. While I like the features that the Pro version has (mobile detection, etc.), the Ajax user interface implementation is so bad, I’ve deleted the plugin and had something custom made with an interface that conforms to WordPress’ native aesthetics.

    For those who don’t want or can’t create a custom alternative, you should consider scrapping your current UI aesthetics/implementation and try to more closely adhere to WordPress UX aesthetics and best practices.

    Thank you for your comments. I will try to implement the new features in the non-AJAX version of the plugin as well.

    Appreciate the feedback about help bubbles not closing properly. Will debug it right away.

    The interface design (twitter-bootstrap framework etc.) came about because of a comment about another plugin of mine where the user said that the presentation looked like something from 1985! Funny that you should find the current one also too old. Looks like I just cannot keep up with the changing times… ??

    In the last release, I have fixed the issues with touch screen devices, and tested on my iPad. If you find any other issues with it, please post it here.

    I have also used a more muted color scheme for the plugin, although I haven’t gone back to the native WP user interface, which is impossible without rewriting the whole code base.

    I’m marking this topic as “not a support question.”
