I’m not a Dev, but I agree. I find searching for plugins quite frustrating. There’s thousands of plugins, quite a few who do more or less exactly the same thing. And you always get results with plugins who aren’t maintained and doesn’t work with newer versions of WP:

At least beeing able to exclude plugins from the search would be nice. An advanced search where you could exclude non-maintained and old plugins.

Some kind of system to force developers to work together instead developing plugins that do the exact same thing would be nice. This shouldn’t prevent forks of course, but quite a few plugins are the result of just one developer with an idea and the time. They wrote the plugin for themselves and then shared it (which is great), but when everybody does that you end up with a lot of bad plugins for one feature, instead of one solid and well-maintained one.

Hi, I been away as well, but would still like help.

I’ve just set up a clone test-site since I didn’t want to break my active site. There I’ve upgraded WordPress to the latest version, as Simply Exclude and WP E-commerce, but I still have the issue.

It was a conflict with the Order Post Types-plugin that caused this for me.

Thanks, lets hope that works. I’m not too familiar with phpmyadmin, so I only discovered how to repair tables individually.

Hi, thanks for answering!

The conflict? E-commerce 3.8 breaks simply exclude: If I update to 3.8 categories aren’t excluded anymore.

I have some categories that I don’t want to show on the front page or in the feeds, so I use exclude for these categories.

I’m running WP 3.1. Seems like there’s a fix for something related to category exclusion in 3.1.1, but I’m afraid of ruining the category exclusion as it is essential to my CMS setup.

Anything more you need to know? Any advise?

Any good alternatives?

A late reply, but I found that the Simply Exclude plugin does the same thing more or less.

I also sent a bug report to the owner, no reply. I don’t have the exact same problem, but the Custom Success URL doesn’t work. I’m not getting a pop-up, but I get a PHP message that something went wrong (don’t remember the exact message).
