No Support

jstraete March 22, 2023

There are several comments on a thread support message regarding an issue with the latest version of the plugin. Another user commented that the author has not shown as active here since 2021. I have since found another plugin to replace this one given the lack of support from the developer on this plugin.

Blocks search results!

mobizdev November 12, 2022

The plugin worked great as long as you we did not use any search functionality on the site. After implementing the standard wordpress search we did not get any search results and had to activate/deactivate all plugins till we found that this one blocks displaying any search results.

useless and documentation says nothing

Noctis Lucis October 7, 2022

1) you do not understand how to login and it is NOT explained (need an external plugin? boh) 2) it is not clear how to land into the private page of userA and it is NOT explained 3) even if the plugin is enabled the private-page slug returns a 404 4) the documentation is short and useless and does NOT explain in any way how to access your private pages / posts. 5) I was unable to use the plugin after 1 hour of testing 6) you are so greedy that you want to get customers to pay for the “PrEmIuM” version that you have not bothered to explain the basic functions to your followers. good.

Amazing!

jamiesmit January 10, 2022

Easy to use, light and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Couldn’t praise the creators more!

I want to buy but no one answers =(

claudiofromchile January 12, 2021

Hello In the official website you offers a 5 days trial of the pro version. I ask for tree times so far but no budy contacted me. I sent some question in support area too no one answers, that make me think what is going to happend when this plugins fails or need to upgrade? If you may answer my pre sales question i sent before i will buy it right away. One of the question is, when you upload content to a specific user, do the ser get a email notification? Thanks in advance

Absolutely useless in the Free version!

dardwizzle July 27, 2020 2 replies

If you were looking for a simple way to restrict certain pages by user role, don’t waste your time unless you plan on paying. They literally only included the most basic features most of which you can already do with WP by default. The way these plugin developers rope you in with their “free plan” but give you every useless feature, only allowing you access just up to the point of making the plugin useful then they hit you with the Must Upgrade. If they would make these plugins usable and make the more advance stuff requiring an upgrade, I might pay for some, but they make the free versions look good in the description then you install them, DENIED. Worse, when you go to delete the plugin that doest work as you thought, they don’t clean up after themselves and leave crap all over your database! ARGH!
