One of the best plugins broken by upsell

    This was once an amazing plugin. After the update, it is all upsell and advertising for their pro version. It is intrusive and the powerful functionality that it used to have is gone. To be clear, it even had messages to the administrator popping up on the front end. Not visible to visitors, but still extremely annoying and adding no value other than to promote their pro product.

    Just use Google Analytics directly. It will probably be less confusing than this new “simplified” version.

    I have a number of sites I’ll be removing this from.

    I fully agree with @deleyna what a terrible change from a great and helpful unobtrusive plugin, to an advertisement drama. I would even have paid a small amount for the old version. Now I am going to remove it from all my sites. Metrics mishap.

    Something weird I noticed when changing to Monster Insights. These two plugins are visually virtually identical except for some color changes. Even the upgrade pages appear to be the same with just a CSS change.

    The 6.0.1 update to Exact Metrics put the 30 day graph back on the dashboard…it is better, but unfortunately went into a loop on the two sites I decided to test it on to see if we could live with it.

    I’m wondering if this plugin changed hands and got bought out by the other plugin…
