@ Concopa:
Come on.. Be UP FRONT and gain the trust and respect of your potential customers. Tell them IMMEDIATELY that there are restrictions and a cost involved to remove those restrictions.
At the top of the page, you clearly state it is FREE. There is no indication of restrictions… That indicated that there are NO restrictions. Agreed that right down at the bottom of the page, you mention a pro version but still no indication of restrictions on the so called ‘free’ version
I will not (repeat NOT) invest financially in any product, no matter how good, where I feel that I have been duped into wasting my time.
I like the concept of your product and would more than likely invested in it had true facts been presented UP FRONT. Don’t treat potential customers as fools! You have lost MY goodwill and will never be a customer of yours.
I have used this neat gallery: to good effect.
Better still, it is free.
I have just d/l this plugin.
I don’t mind paying for software but there is no indication that there is a cost to using it. There is no indication that there is a an advert embedded with a cost of having it removed. Had the been some indication, I would have investigated further. However finding out that the there are HIDDEN costs has put me off this plugin and author. It may well have been different if the author had been up front, as many others are, about these hidden costs.
I will NOT be a platform to advertising someone else’s website on mine!
As I say, I don’t mind paying someone for their efforts but having a monthly or annual fee for its use is not acceptable to me. I will be deleting the download and not using it.
Ask yourself: How many years will you anticipate using it? 3 ~ 5 years? Then multiply the annual fee by those years… that seems very expensive… I think I would prefer to buy Adobe Flash and learn to do it myself. It would cost less!

Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Text entry boxes are missingThe issue IS now resolved.
It was a missing .htaccess file missing from the server and the need to add an extra line to the .htaccess
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: A lost .htaccess file – should I have one?Wa-Hay!!!! I have it solved
I am on a 1&1 . co . uk linux server & getting Error 500 and unable to add or edit Pages (ading a post was ok though)
After researcing through all the old threads I came up with this solution.
1) I could not find the .htaccess file on the server. This is a hidden file so was unsure if I couldnt find it because it was hidden or if it just did not exist!
Using Dreamweaver with ‘show hidden files’ on. I still couldnt see it in the root of WordPress on the 1&1 Linux server..So:
2) I with a text editor (UltraEdit64) i created an empty file and saved it as .htaccess in the root of WP in my LOCAL machine. Dreamweaver immediately displayed its presence.
That confirmed in my mind, that there was no .htaccess on the server
3) I then added the following text into the .htaccess on my local machine:
# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> AddType x-mapp-php5 .php # END WordPress
I then uploaded this newly created .access file to the server in the WP root.
hey-presto! It is working again… I have been trying to track this down for many hours…
Marking the thread resolved
Thanks Datasoftict for pointing me in the right directions…

…And error 500 on 1&1 (oneandone.co.uk)Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Text entry boxes are missingLooks like I’m talking to my self!
Well, the problem does not appear to be theme related. I have just replaced my tweaked theme (tweaked for font type, wrapper width, image size) with a new virgin TwentyTen by doing it via Dreamweaver FTP thus:
Local: renamed TwentyTen(local) with no Dreamweaver link update…
switched to remote view (server)
Remote: downloaded TwentyTen and renames to TwentyTen(server)
That gives me safe copies….Then copied a virgin TwentyTen theme from the WordPress download and pasted it in my Dreamweaver sites directory alongside the two renamed safe copies. and uploaded to the server.
On viewing my WordPress site, it had changed back to the specs of the untweaked version (Sans-serif, narrower wrapper, narrower images) exactly as expected…
Then I went into my WP Admin and still have the original problem: No text entry box on PAGE mode (Edit Page Or New Page)
It seems to have stopped at exactly 100 pages – Is this a limit on quantity of pages? I don’t think so because of the server error 500.
If there is anyone out there who can give me a clue as to what to do next I would dearly love to have some feedback.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Text entry boxes are missingAnother clue? I just clicked on ‘Pages’ I got the list of pages but when I tried to look at the list on say page 3 of the list of pages, I got:
Error 500 – Internal server error
An internal server error has occured!
Please try again laterI have managed to export the database to an XML file
ANY guidance will be very much appreciated
