    I’m attempting to educate you (and others reading this) about the tremendous value in justifying your reviews, no matter what the product is.

    Thank you again for a condescending (oops edumacational) comment.

    Ok that’s it for me talk amongst yourselves.

    What do those statistics say?

    I say that because you may find yourself needing to come back to use WooC at some point, and unnecessarily burning a bridge may not make a ton of sense in that case.

    Burn a bridge? I think i did thank you for taking time of out your day to comment.

    It was how you did not justify / support your rating. There’s nothing wrong with rating a plugin one star ??

    There is nothing in the TOS of this site that says I have to justify anything ??

    Ok to with hope wrap this up, I will give the plug-in a 3 star rating, perhaps one is too rash, and sorry I did not follow up sooner a client called me to say they entered 40 new products today using MarketPress and how much easier it was and how much better the site looks.

    Take care and thank you for the constructive criticism.

    Will you all feel better if I give it two stars? Everything you are telling me I already know I have been developing and using WordPress every day since 2.5 at least.

    Who knows, if I used WooCommerce I might agree with you. Since I don’t use it (yet) I cannot and will not speak on the actual problems you experienced.

    Then why comment at all? I made a judgement call and decided rate the plug-in based on the fact that with all the time and money I put onto the plug-in, I (me) felt that it was not worth the risk and have been let down. Don’t even get me going on WP e-Commerce (unless you want me to?)

    So it’s good to see plug-in devs get together and join hands and sing kum bah yah. After all I really don’t know anything.

    O hey pippin I use and have purchased a few of your plug-ins and have a great deal of respect for you and follow you on twitter etc.

    I am confused are these ratings here to use democratically or are you both saying I am stupid and have no idea what I am doing so I am not entitled to comment? In fact I have been using “it” since the beginning and know it quite intimately. Why beat up on me when there are 100’s of negative comments out there, and on the woo forums.

    I (me) made a decision not to upgrade because of all the ridiculous things I read and did not want to even try. Smart of me I think. I took the time to migrate to MarketPress for my clients sake. I had to eat all the time doing this, and I felt is was the lesser of two time commitments. I was right. I have paid some decent money into Woocommerce extensions and felt like I do not need to risk taking a chance of bringing someone else’s site down. Sorry for thinking on my own.

    Who’s next Matt, Adii?

    I am not going to comment on your list of reasons why I should do this or that it seems condescending and have no idea why you needed to pick on lowly old me.

    I made a better decision by moving to MarketPress and I am very happy with the plug-in, and the support system.

    So anytime someone leaves a 1 star rating we need all the Rockstars coming out to bash the reviewer? I don’t see anywhere near the bashing of such a lowly ol WordPress enthusiast as myself.

    If I am so out of line ask a WordPress admin to delete this rating, because I don’t know anything and have no right to an opinion, and live in the shadow of the plug-in gods.

    No offense I have respect for you, but this is ridiculous.

    Keep it coming I have some time today…

    Well you guys always like to blame the theme, it accounts for 90% of support posts. In my case it was not the “theme” I make them so I would know.

    I just had no intention of taking a chance and getting myself in a pickle by updating, so I didn’t even want to try. My experience with a new install prior to 2.0.x.x.x.x.x was less than spectacular, so like I said I made a call to not upgrade or use it. Ever again. So the one star is failing to provide a seamless transition when a lot could be at stake.

    I am not crying fowl, just expressing an opinion. After reading Brian K’s upgrade document I said “what?” why do I even have to go through all of this nonsense to update a silly plug-in. And generally I don’t need support so I didn’t post anything and didn’t want to hear that it was my theme.

    And also your recommendation to create a separate development install prior to upgrading was the last straw, never heard of such a thing. I don’t have time to fuss with things like that Didn’t inspire confidence in me, more like “better test it, cuz we ain’t sure”

    There is more here than the guy who started WordPress yesterday can’t figure it out and gives a theme/plugin author 1 star, I know “those” people.

    Are you done yet?

    Additionally I have spent hundreds of dollars on extensions for “it”, be happy you got some money out of me.

    I read that a while back, just calling it as I see it and I have a right to a personal opinion and I am not on the MarketPress staff.

    And had been more or less happy with “it” until the ever growing 2.0.x series of “improvements”. Had to make a call to migrate 10 sites to MarketPress, or deal with a myriad of ridiculous “enhancements”. Took an hour per site with a little SQL query to migrate to MarketPress.

    An update to a plug-in should provide enhanced capability, and a seamless transition without causing headaches, of which I have read more than a few… Those posts all over the place promoted me to make the decision more than anything.

    Hey why be negative towards me, if you want I will document the dozens of things I would have had to do, I could start a whole new blog on the subject. Who knows what the future brings if I had stayed.

    Take care I wuv you.

    I have been using this plugin for about 2 years and never have had any issues. It produces a very nice gallery with loads of options, and most importantly validates XHTML strict.
