• 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!

    So I go to the support page that does not function properly.

    Please back up your claim. I use the site and others use it and this is the first time somebody makes this claim. We both communicated over the site, so what exactly do you mean?

    OMG. You are so stubborn. You just can not admit you were wrong. I never insulted you I just pointed out the fact that if you would actually fill out the form I would not have such a hard time trying to help you and need to ask for more info again and again! You did not even give your site to show the issue …

    There is nothing to fix. I told you that, if you turn the SEO data off it won’t get put out on your page. You seriously continue to claim the plugin does not work as intended when you specifically turn the setting off for a feature you’re looking to use.

    You made a mistake!. You confused Yoast SEO with Yoast VIDEO SEO. That is an extra addon that coast you $69 a year to generate SEO data. From what I understood you only use Yeast SEO, so you do not need to disable it. And (sadly not obvious to you) if you disable the SEO data nothing you manually enter will be on your site and nothing will be automatically generated.

    After you wasted my time for hours, after I guessed your option setting right you seriously continue to claim the plugin does not work as expected? And you request a refund because “lack off support” after I spend hours trying to help you with your lack of information?

    Then you make this dead wrong comparison

    This is like a mechanic asking me how many doors my car has when I need help with a dead battery.

    Because I dared to ask you for information. You obviously understand nothing! Absolutely nothing!

    Praying not running into people like you again. This is mind-boggling, really. You just can not admit it you are fixed on your wrong assumptions and failure to recognize I was right all along.

    I will remove the option from the next version, so people will not get confused. I will detect its need programmatically, so I will never run into anyone again who gets confused about this. But again, there is nothing wrong with the plugin you just disabled the option by mistake!

    I am considering the next I encounter someone with your attitude to not bother and straight refund and try hard to forget as fast as possible. So stubborn it hurts.

    Yeah, riiight! That must be it. I am asking to copy and paste the debug info because I get off by knowing what plugins other people use. That must be it! It has of course nothing to do with the fact that it may help me to figure out that maybe another plugin may interfere with the functionality of ARVE.

    And if you so bothered about telling me what plugins you use then delete them out of the copied text. You did not even put in the most basic info like what version of WP, PHP, ARVE and ARVE Pro version … you use. Nothing!

    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 programming language and I don’t need to know what all is happening in the back end.

    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.

    Apart from the fact that you contradict yourself in the very next paragraph. I certainly never expected you to understand any of the inner works of WP or the plugin. Seriously how many false claims are you trying to pile up here?

    You obviously have absolutely no clue about WP inner working, technical stuff. And that is perfectly obvious and also perfectly fine. As long as you do not make your shitty car comparisons. And pile up wrong claim after wrong claim. Do not pretend to know what information is needed or potentially helpful to me. The developer who actually knows how it works. Who actually figured it out just by guessing!

    This could be a 5-minute resolution if you would actually give some very basic info and actually listen.
