BEWARE: Deactivation deletes data
-
UPDATE:
This is a nice plugin, but it has a serious flaw. Deactivating will remove all of the plugin’s data, including feeds.Deactivation is a common practice, often used to troubleshoot plugin conflicts. Other plugins retain data when deactivated and data is available again when plugin is reactivated. Not this one. Data is wiped with deactivation.
Data should be removed when the plugin is “removed” not when it is deactivated.
Because the potential to lose data through the deactivation process, the plugin now gets 2 stars.
The Plugin
This plugin is a little complicated but it works well. Instructions are written in English but not always very clear English; however, if you spend a little time with it, you will discover its variety of good features.Addon
I purchased an addon at a reasonable price and with no payment problems through Paypal, but it installed itself with an improper directory name, which was annoying and required some troubleshooting all of which should have been avoided by some attention to detail by the developer. All in all, though, that was not typical of my experience with the rest of the programming which is robust and solid.Support
The naming issue and some other questions required me to seek support, which is provided via a forum on the developer’s website. We live on opposite sides of the world, literally, so our opportunities to communicate simultaneously during waking hours were very limited, this caused some delays, but the developer was tenacious, polite and thorough in addressing my issues and, within a few days, they were resolved. I allowed the developer administrator access to my site as he requested for troubleshooting and he proved himself trustworthy and responsible in using it.
