Don't trust the ratings
-
Like one of the other FB pixel plugins, this one is offering a discount for leaving a five-star rating. That means you can’t trust these reviews as honest evaluations.

Hi Doug,
I understand your point and maybe you are right. I modify the offer page to make it clear that the review is not mandatory, but purely optional.
Thank you for your interest.
Doug,
Thanks you for reporting this Review Scam. WordPress should remove all FALSE reviews and have them start over. I am shocked after installing it how spammy it is and it blocks feature access that you can get directly from Facebook by just putting it in your header.
Hi snowman007,
I am sorry you didn’t like the product.
What features that you can get from Facebook and put directly into your header are we blocking? I would really appreciate you give me more details on that.
As for the votes, this discussion here is really old and the issue was long solved. I can assure you that the ratings are correct and we do our best to offer prompt support and a very good product.
PixelYourSite,
Custom Audiences, Time On Page, Dynamic Events are available without your plugin. What features to Facebook Pixel do you add that are ONLY available using your PRO plugin, while I know you don’t support it here, you do press people to upgrade from here to it.
I wanted your plugin to just insert the Facebook provided code into the WordPress header, which is not available. Granted if you are not tech savvy, it could simplify adding events to pages, but I would prefer if the free version could simply do what Facebook recommends, of inserting their (complete code) into the WordPress header.
(By only using the pixel ID, instead of the complete code, you are breaking the code Facebook is providing and losing features they have provided for free)

Related to Old Conversation, 90% of your 5 star ratings were prior to this comment where you say you stopped cheating the system, if they where removed, you would be well shy of being a 4 star plugin, which would be a huge change in the perception of your plugin.

You make a few confusions:
1. there is no TimeOnPage option from FB. There is a time on SITE, that works completely different: you have to select top 10, 25 an so on… This option WORKS with the code provided by the free version of the plugin (we actually suspended our TimeOnPage option at the moment, but that’s a different story).
2. Dynamic Events – they require quite some codding, believe me! Our pro version lets you trigger events on clicks (html links and form buttons, for example), page scroll, mouse over any page element. We will add time spent on page soon. I am just curious how you can trigger dynamic events with the code provided by Facebook.
There are plenty of other options that the pro has (like delay events, track all sorts of useful parameters, like traffic source or URL tags – quite useful if you’re serious about FB ads).
Anyway, the free version does a LOT too: it does ad the pixel code on EVERY page. It lets you fire events on page load (everywhere you want), it tracks all sort of useful parameters, and it integrates with WooCommerce (EDD will follow soon).
You don’t lose any feature that Facebook is providing. You are actually gaining a lot more. The confusion comes from the fact that you think that all the feature that FB is talking about will work just by inserting their code on the page. That’s not alway the case, you also have to pull dynamic data from the page itself (like page title, page category, page type, product type, page ID, product ID….I can continue the list, believe me), or make some parts of the code to trigger only when some conditions are meat.
Both the free and the pro version are complex and useful if you’re into Facebook ads. They offer much more than simply adding the code inside the page header. Am I sure that if that’s what you’re looking for, there are plenty of plugins doing this.
This plugin works, and I have a lot of positive feedback, including from FB insiders. Maybe you should not trash a product just because you didn’t spent enough time to know it better.
I wish you all the best with your Facebook efforts and your business in general.
PS you’re always welcomed to browse our site for more tips about the FB pixel. You’ll see that it can go far beyond of just adding the basic code inside the page header.
