Hello @tonvandervalk66, @fierevere

The banner mentioned by @tonvandervalk66 only appears in the plugin settings. Moreover, the banner shouldn’t appear if the anti-spam license is active.

@tonvandervalk66,

If you need any assistance, please contact us via our support ticket system:

Thank you.

Hi @amagsumov @fierevere

What amagsumov says is a plain lie: the banner is all over the place in the admin. On the front dashboard and in the media library.

It is a banner with the cross erased so the user cannot remove it the normal way.

It seems like a small misunderstanding, the plugin is a SaaS which works on the provider side, they may require a registration (to get API/license key),
so this notice just tells you that plugin does not work without license/API key.

If you can get a “free plan” license key and dismiss this notice – there is no guidelines violation. Otherwise you can just deactivate this plugin, it wont work without API/license key anyway.

Hello @tonvandervalk66 @fierevere

This banner looks different than the CleanTalk banner.

Could you check this banner? Our banner links to cleantalk.org.
Could you please send a link from the banner button?

Thank you!

Hello @tonvandervalk66 @fierevere

Yes, indeed. This renewal banner was skipped during the last revisions of all banners.
We added the ability to close the banner. If you close the banner, it only appears in the plugin settings.
The changes will be added in the new release of the plugin. We are going to release it the next week.

Thank you for your feedback!

@tonvandervalk66
since this became more a support topic than a review, i have moved it to support section.

You can leave another review for this plugin if you want to.
