Just to confirm a point.
The plugin on wp.org is free and you’ll receive the upgrades of it, either you opted-in to Freemius or not.
The updates system is the same for all the plugins.once there is a new version of wp org repo, You get notified and you update it freely like any other plugin.

That notice from Freemius is saying you will not receive updates or notifications from Freemius which you agree to opt in, not Wp.Org..

Try to Opt-out and You’ll get the plugin works without any issue… You’ll even get rid of the Green Sub menus (Account).if you optout, You detach your plugin from the system of Freemius and and this confirms that the opt-in option is not mandatory.You can still skip that form.

here is how To skip it.

After I opted-out, I can use the plugin properly.

if you check out the plugin settings and options, they are working as described and everything works seamlessly as per description and features in the plugin’s page.

Hi,

I am sorry I wasn’t notified by your replies.
After checking out all the instructions above, I can confirm that there was a bug , The version on freemius is 1.3.6 and on wp.org is 1.3.5,we didn’t push the new update of the plugin on wo.org repo and that made all this confusion.
and we didn’t see it before we already had that version on our local machines (1.3.6) no need to prompt the upgrade to download it.

What happened that once you opted to freemius, the system was notified that there is a newer version (1.3.6) , and although there is a free version on FREEmius repo, but it was calling the upgrade to the pro version, instead.

All this happened without being aware of it,We are going to fix it immediately by upgrading the version on wp.org repo.
I have tested it again on a fresh new wp install on my machine, and it seems to show now such scenario anymore. but please if you notice any weird behavior like that one, please report it.

I am sorry one more time for all this inconvenience.

Hi @klflote
You can send the notifications by user role whether there is a new event in the website (new post,new comment, etc)
if you need it, we can add a custom message option,so it will allow you to send text meessages to users by role, at any time.

Hi everyone.

First. I am sorry for that first impression.
I am here to help with support tickets and trying catch up with tickets that I wasn’t here when they were reported.( Not playing to..)
The plugin wasn’t updated for months and with the help of Bfintal we are teying to come up with a good update that this wonderful plugin deserves.

I am a one like you.a user of PBS before I became a contributor.

I am sorry again for any inconvinience.
I’ll try my best to debug the actual bugs and fix it in a fast patch.

Regards

Hi
Thanks for the headsup.
Let me fix that.
Cheers

Hi
That’s not true.
The free version on wp.org repo is and will be always free.and since version 1.1.0 we added a pro version which is not forced to be purchased.

Look at the version of the plugin is 1.1.5 ?? which means you either purchased the pro version before from freemius (third party marketplace) or you opted-in to receive updates from them.. not from wp.org.

You can still use the free version of the plugin.. no need to pay anything neither the addons or the pro version.we built it to help users with sms integration to WordPress.
If you still believe that you misled by any meaning.I am really sorry to leave that impression.not our intention at all. You can try to make a fresh install. Pf the free plugin you are using now.. and install a new one.and opt-out from any other third party provided of the plugin.

I am here to help you with if you still face this one.and even give you a license of the pro version( if needed ) and sorry again.

Regards

I have tried it out and it seems to be working properly.
Your Account creds arent set liek they should.
There is a new Twilio Console, login to it then click on ” Messaging service then ” Set it up ” , it will release a new number for you account related to your Project .
here https://console.twilio.com/us1/develop/sms/try-it-out/get-set-up?frameUrl=%2Fconsole%2Fsms%2Fget-setup%3Fx-target-region%3Dus1
then change the number and the Sid and the Aut Token is they were updated in the console.

See my example here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e55C_BxYvryWyVlA5FXuZfJLO7ofNcbj/view?usp=sharing

If you still need further help with this, let me know, I’d like to help you to get it sorted.

Best Regards

Hi Virap,
The plugin helps to integrate Twilio APi with WordPress, it sends SMS as per the triggers set in the backend of the plugin.

Hi
Did you set the Twilio accou’t settings properly?
I am going to test it again right now and fix it if there is any issue .
Cheers

Hi mpassos,
Whatsapp integration isn’t suported yet, only SMS.
Cheers

I will try again and see if I can replicate it.
technically, the error you are receiving is provided by Twilio API, which means the request has been sent but the number if not valid or the proper format.

also make sure the number is valid, the correct format + verified in Twilio console, or you use a paid account.

Hi,
when you try to send a test message ( on test tab), do you get it to work??
did you make any changes to the plugin or you use any third party custom mods to make it to work like OTP??

Hi @jfitz369,
The plugin has already the feature to send site activities ( new post,new comment,..).
this feature works only with the admin number that’s set in the backend.
First ,check out the logs, and see why you didn’t receive it.

By the way, the number must be verified in twilio console dashboard, you must receive the sms, I just tested it and it worked properly.
Anyway the logs tells everything.

Now, about sending the site activities to all the users, there is no such feature YET.
We might consider to create an integration to the BULK SMS addon.
