• Hi, I just noticed you’re placing a survey in your plugin’s function area. Does this mean you’re ramping up to start charging for this plugin? Just curious because I’d hate to see this plugin go the route of the Theme My Login plugin. Those guys really hurt their user base after that recent upgrade and it seems to be a trend lately.

    Just politely inquiring.

    Thanks.

    Nothing?

    Given the lack of communication and that you’re now putting newsletter notices in the admin, I’ll take this as a yes.

    I am not going to charge for the core Page Links To plugin or remove any functionality from it. One of the main takeaways from the survey that I did was that people do not want a bunch of new things added to the core plugin. They like that it’s simple and targeted. There was interest in new features, but only via add-on plugins. So I’m looking into new features that I can put into a paid add-on plugin. I’m not going to remove functionality from the core plugin (in fact, I’m already working on some enhancements for Page Links To).

    My goal is to use revenue from these new (and beyond the scope of Page Links To) add-on features to fund my time to continue maintaining and enhancing Page Links To. If a feature or enhancement seems like it relates to the core functionality of Page Links To, and doesn’t add a lot of code bloat or complexity, I’ll put it in Page Links To. Already have one of those coded and ready for release next week. But if a feature or enhancement is way beyond the core functionality goals or adds a lot of code and complexity, I’ll put it in an add-on.

    But you made a recent update just to pimp your newsletter in the admin dashboard and other backend WP users see that. I get you want to make upgrades and a separate pro version, that’s cool but the free version is turning into a spam machine.
