Dishonest Pro version policy
-
I purchased the pro version more than 1 year ago, and didn’t renew my subscription, being satisfied with the plugin version I had on my website.
Today I wanted to add a new photo gallery, and I was surprised to receive the following message : “to create a gallery, you need to purchase a new subscription”.
It is a shame to intentionally disable the functionality of a paying plugin, just because the user didn’t pay for a renewal. Creating a new gallery is only relying on local plugin resources, and doesn’t involve any cloud-based service. Therefore there is absolutely no justification for having the user pay again for a piece of code he already purchased.
I’ve already paid for many plugins, and this is the first time I’m observing this agressive and unfair commercial policy.
Of course, I will not subscribe ever again, and instead disable this lock from within the PHP code. In addition, I hope that Envira Gallery will be flagged by WordPress as contrary to the plugin rules.
