Insulting the customer is not support
-
The free plugin works great, stay with the free version. If you go pro and need help, get ready to be insulted by the developer. Worse, the insults did not fix what the problem was.
I don’t pay people to insult me…
Any bets I don’t get my money back??My issue was that it was not doing as it promised. The very reason I wanted to go pro. I needed the plugin to automatically fill out the description, the date, and pull the image from YouTube. The very things the “pro” version tells you are the key reasons you should go pro.
So I go to the support page that does not function properly. That kind of tells me what I was in for… And I fill out a support ticket.
Filling out is where I guess the developer gets his rocks off on. He wants you to tell him everything about your website, your programs, the other plugins, what you are using the plug in for, etc…
Imagine going to the dealership for your brand new car. Questioning why your left turn signal is not working and the first question the mechanic asks is “how many doors does the car have?” – Yea, what does knowing the number of car doors tell you why the turn signal is not working??
I have never had this kind of trouble with a 3rd party developer. Especially when the issue is for one of the core uses of that plugin.
The App developers I have worked with, and the few times I ever had an issue with a Pro version of a plugin, know the possible issues for their core uses and have a handy response. They figure most people using the plugin are not technology literate and want fast solutions to simple issues to even what may be simple to them.
Instead, with this developer, you get insulting replies if you have an issue with one of the basics parts of the plugin. How dare you have an issue for one of the highlighted reasons you should go Pro with this plugin!!
And again, you, the one paying him money, are getting insulting comments because you are asking a question from the developer. I guess it’s their version of saying “Thank You”
I use WordPress because it saves me time doing what I need it to do for myself and my clients. I don’t need to know the programing language and I don’t need to know what all is happening in the back end.
After all these years working around WordPress. I have a pretty good understanding of how it all works. But I don’t think I need to be certified in SQL or any other computer language to ask for help from the developer. And I don’t need to be insulted in any means for asking for support
But the developer of this plugin feels you need to know all this if you want HIS help in solving an issue with HIS plugin.
SO I quit using the program because it can’t be fixed and I have asked for a refund.
Now we can sit back and enjoy how he will respond with insults and accusations because I dared to ask for help!
