Time to stop using / abandon. Do not migrate to Blog Vault

    The new owners of WP Remote have released a new version of the plugin and are looking to heavily monetise it.

    The focus is clearly on selling their other services and not what WPRemote users were using it for.

    The death nail of this is it will sync your users and there personal data ( email address / user names ) over to their service without a built in ability to disable it. Anyone who cares about GDPR can no longer use WP Remote.

    It very much seems they saw it as opportunity to convert and monetise WP Remote’s existing users and was more of a short term investment then about developing a product around the users needs.

  • Thank you for the warning, but… are you able to provide any reliable source for that claim? I’m just curious about how you found out about that…

    In regards to it will sync your users and their personal data over to their service without a built-in ability to disable it?

    The source is the plugin and the solution they provide, that’s what will happen when you use it. Unless they have amended the functionality in the last 5 months, it was confirmed by them it wasn’t a feature that could be disabled. Therefore anyone operating under GDPR and cares about when their user’s data should not use the plugin.
