Forces you to install a third block plugin

I don’t think you are “forced” to install any plugin. Which one by the way??

In new versions, it forces you to install a plugin, there is no way to cancel it.

Then if you can uninstall it and use it as usual.

Después si puedes desinstalarlo y usarlo como siempre.

It’s not a plugin. After update, there is a message “do you want to manage the rendering through Gutenberg?” and, after choosing a page dedicated to maintenance landing, you have to select a template. And you can after that modify the template as you wish. It’ not a plugin. Templates are used for page builders and themes.

If you don’t like this, you uninstall the plugin and pick and older version. Or change plugin – there is a bunch of maintenance plugins.

After installation, you go to settings and it directly asks you which template you want to use and that “Otter Blocks” will be installed (you can’t cancel this).

It doesn’t ask me if I want to use Gutenberg or not. ?Is un bug? Can you show screenshot?

It directly asks you the template to install, with the corresponding plugin.

Después de la instalación, vas a ajustes y directamente te pregunta que plantilla quieres usar y que se instalará “Otter Blocks” (no puedes cancelar esto).

A mi no me pregunta si quiero usar o no quiero usar Gutenberg. ?Es un bug? ?Puedes mostrar captura de pantalla?

Directamente te pregunta la plantilla a instalar, con el correspondiente plugin.

Well, I cannot show you a message that shows one time – I will have to reinstall an older version of the plugin for that.

I just imported a template without any prompt to install Otto Blocks. But a lot of customization of the templates need Otto Plugin. Maybe you chose a template that needs Otto Plugin – it adds animation, conditional blocks and some other customizations. I may add a review about this as it’s quite boring.

Well, I must apologize?: I found Otter Blocks and I don’t think I allowed any installation. Such a crap.

Hello @li-an and @juanolo2001!

Thank you for choosing LightStart and for sharing your feedback with us.

I’m sorry that recent changes don’t look helpful for your use cases.

We have made changes in the recent versions of the plugin to make the user experience better and give more flexibility in customizing the maintenance page, as you can now use Gutenberg editor or a page builder to easily customize the page and select a pre-created design or create your new custom one.

The extra plugin (Otter) is only needed if users want to use any of the pre-designed templates that are created with the help of this plugin.

In case you do not want to use the pre-design templates, you can remove the plugin and continue using WP Maintenance plugin without it.

If you already had the WP Maintenance Mode plugin installed before, you can opt-out of this change after the update of the plugin and keep everything as it was before (You see the Migrate button that could be clicked to switch to the new version and you also have a Rollback button after that in case you want to switch back).

Thanks for understanding and have a nice day!

I see a rollback but it means there will be no more update for this previous version, so kinda dangerous.

Hi @li-an!

The Otter plugin can be manually deleted if you don’t see any benefit of it and you don’t use the maintenance or coming soon templates created with it. This way, you can use the LightStart plugin as before.
