In reply to: [Business Hours Indicator] syntax code to center textHi @giulia979
It’s possible to center it but may need some more custom CSS to achieve it. Unfortunately, we can’t write custom CSS for free users. Hope you understand!
Your 2nd question is not possible with the free version, sorry.

In reply to: [Caldera Forms - More Than Contact Forms] They used to be free@hasanfachrul I don’t think it’s fair to give a plugin 1 star just because they’re being a business. There’s no such thing as “free” and they have to make money somehow, otherwise it’s not sustainable.
You already get quite an awesome plugin for free, yet you expect everything to be free?
I’d like to know as well!

In reply to: [Extra Product Options Builder for WooCommerce] Script overload (bloat)Thank you for updating the plugin and improving the script sizes. Going from 2MB+ to 300kb is indeed a huge improvement.
However, it is still way too much. This probably also excludes the external React library which is another 100kb+ ?
As you are probably aware, there are already a lot of plugins in this genre. I’ve tried 7 of them. And yours is by far the one loading the most scripts on the frontend. It’s even worse than the one from Yith, in terms of scripts.
You know that WooCommerce already ads some scripts and the average store has multiple plugins, each adding more scripts. Therefore, it is unacceptable to me that one plugin would load 300kb or more worth of scripts (unless that plugin is a powerhouse like a full-on product configurator or something).
I also think building your frontend with React is a bad idea. Most themes include jQuery so now your users will load jQuery and React. The latter is just for your plugin.
The average store owner doesn’t know about this and only finds out when they do a gtmetrix test a couple of weeks later. By then, their whole store is already live and it’s too expensive/time consuming to change plugins.
I really believe that plugin authors such as yourself have to protect the store owner from this. Simply creating a plugin and stuffing it with a ton of features/scripts just so you can maximize profit, does not benefit the majority of store owners.
WordPress sites generally have a problem with speed and as plugin authors, you can do something about that. This plugin is sadly doing the opposite.
Also, if you’re a premium plugin seller, I would argue that you should hold yourself to higher standards as your customers deserve better. Simply “not looking into this because nobody has brought it up yet” is not good enough. As developer, your deploy process should include cleaning up script size. Your development process should also include thinking about a user’s store in general, not just within the confines of your plugin.
I do hope you understand my point of view.
