I really don’t know, I’m new to this plugin, but after having read a few posts here and there, I feel like this (the free version) is nearly abandonware. There actually is @justingreerbbi (plugin author) sometimes answering, like once in a few months, so we can’t say it is abandoned yet, but I feel like real support, even a basic one for the free version, just to encourage users to actually try it, should be something different.

The worst about this plugin is it has a really bad user interface: it’s not even clear what the free version can do. When you find a grayed out option you don’t even know why… pro feature only? Or some mistake on my part? Or a bug in the plugin code? Who knows: the UI does not tell you.

@fierevere that worked like a charm! Thank you very much indeed!

btw, the sucker seems to eat 259 milliseconds per request on average, because of this error (automatically measured via 200 tests with wp profile hook script).

Same here.

Same here. I’m using the twenty seventeen theme.

@shawfactor: this plugin IS a browser. It is a minimal one, running on the server and all the rest, but it still downloads a file from a URL like all other browsers do.

You’re correct when you say URLs do not contain spaces and I’m not pretending this is a bug in your plugin. However, if it worked with spaces and converted them to %20, like most browsers do, that could be a handy feature, at least in my use case.

@moviehour: if there were two different rating systems here, one for the free version and one for the premium version, I’d certainly rate 4* or 5* the free one. However that’s not the case, and doing that here would mislead others to think the premium version has been as good for me as the free one.
You really should not take these reviews as a problem. I always look at reviews before buying anything, but I take negative ones into account only if the seller does not reply at all, or if he replies like you’ve replied to me, e.g. telling me it is my fault and that it’s me not understanding. Your problem is not a negative review, your problem is how you reply to it and what you do to turn it into a positive one.
If the seller shows effort to understand and really help the customer who gave a negative rating, that negative rating does not exist to me. I think many others act like this. I must admit you actually tried helping me when you replied to my tickets in your ticket system, but only when the problems I reported actually had a solution. In other cases, your worst (but not only) mistake was to reply me “prove it” when I told you the columns were wrapping to the next line. If I tell you they do, it means they do: what reason on earth could I have to lie? I have better ways to waste my time if I want. Another mistake was to assume I was damaging you on purpose and bringing your disease into the mix. And then I could go on, but this is not the right place for that.

@jdembowski: if possible, please give moviehour one last chance to constructively reply to my review above before closing this as off topic, thanks.

Take your time, but, meanwhile, please consider this: I badly need that feature, I like and use your plugin for tables, among many others available, and I have only two choices:

1) buy a unlimited license of your plugin, when it will include that feature
2) fork your plugin and develop it myself

I’d prefer the 1st, because I don’t feel like adding a project to maintain to the list of mine, but should you decide not to add that feature, I’ll be forced to go for the 2nd.

I know it doesn’t have it, that’s why a posted a feature request.

Do you plan to add that feature?

I need the ability to enter shortcodes (created by other plugins) in the text fields of the columns details.

Maybe this example makes it clear.

It should boil down to simply running the text of the fields into apply_filters, e.g.:

$f_value = apply_filters('the_content', $packageType['fitem'.$tf]);

Thanks for the reply. I see the first feature is already available in the premium version, but what about the second? Are you going to implement it in a future release of the premium version?

BTW, I’ve just tried to switch to text_date_timestamp but the problem persists in my case.
EDIT: More precisely after switching to text_date_timestamp and deleting old meta keys saved in text_date format, the date fields do not even get saved to the database. Here is my code:

add_filter( 'cmb2_localized_data', 'prefix_cmb_set_date_format' );
function prefix_cmb_set_date_format( $l10n ) {
	// Set your date format replacing 'dd-mm-yy' (UK format)
    $l10n['defaults']['date_picker']['dateFormat'] = 'dd/mm/yy';
    return $l10n;
}

[...]
	$cmb_evento->add_field( array(
		'name' => __( 'Data inizio', 'cmb2' ),
		'desc' => __( 'La data del primo giorno dell'."'".'evento', 'cmb2' ),
		'id'   => $custom_fields_prefix . 'data_inizio_evento',
		'type' => 'text_date_timestamp',
	) );

	$cmb_evento->add_field( array(
		'name' => __( 'Data fine', 'cmb2' ),
		'desc' => __( 'La data dell'."'".'ultimo primo giorno dell'."'".'evento<br/>Se coincide con la data iniziale, questa si può lasciare vuota.', 'cmb2' ),
		'id'   => $custom_fields_prefix . 'data_fine_evento',
		'type' => 'text_date_timestamp',
	) );

Any updates? I’m facing the same problem Carine described, with text_date.

I’m having the same problem. How did you fix it? Thanks.

It’s a virtual server, root access, I installed it myself. I’m quite sure it’s a server issue, but I suspect the crashes are being caused by some injected SQL, because I experience server crashes only after those wp queries.

In other words I suspect an SQL injection that causes DoS.
