Deactivation NAG screen

  • This plugin was not quite as straightforward as I thought it would be. But that’s likely an issue with my theme which only ships with 2 menu areas. But two things really bugged me about this plugin.

    For one, it’s lightly obtrusive, as many plugins are these days. I say lightly because it could certainly be worse, and seems to limit it’s colorful presence to it’s main settings page and the Appearance>Menus page. It also offers you an “updated trial version” until you click the box away. Again, not too obtrusive, as we’re used to all those plugin “ads” and such by now. Thankfully, there’s a plugin to “Hide notification forever.”

    The other issue, however, is that upon deactivating, it pops up a nag screen that FORCES you to answer why you’re deactivating the plugin before it will allow you to go further. The misleading “Dismiss” button only cancels your attempt to deactivate. I’m sure the information would be helpful to the author, but I don’t care for being held hostage in any regard just to deactivate (and I was only deactivating to test compatibility with another plugin!).

    Deactivated, uninstalled. If I ever decide to try it again and the nag screen is made optional, I will update my rating and review.

    Thanks for your feedback. I didn’t understand what do you mean by nag screen. Can you please explain if we can fix this issue?

    In the deactivation popup, there has option “Other”. In this option, you don’t need to write anything. But we can work on it. For this simple reason, we don’t expect this kind of feedback ??

    We will notify you after making it easy.

    I believe you understood, and you answered the question yourself. I said, “it pops up a nag screen that FORCES you to answer why you’re deactivating the plugin before it will allow you to go further.” And I explained clearly that “I don’t care for being held hostage in any regard.” Being forced to answer this question — whether you put in a reason for “Other” or not — is still being forced to answer before being allowed to deactivate. As of this writing, anyone can try it and see for themselves.

    I hope that you do indeed remove this deactivation requirement for your future users, and good luck to them.

    Hi, sorry for the very late response, we fixed the “force deactivation reason” issue many days ago. Now it’s optional. If the user don’t want to select any reason then he can skip that. Thank you
