A good plugin with a little nonsense

  • Even though the plugin is advertised with “No nonsense, just stats!”, it still contains nonsense. In regular intervals, you are bothered with a banner that calls to rate the plugin. Unfortunately, the banner reappears from time to time, even if you have turned it off.

    The plugin also contains a functional unattractive feature. When you deactivate the plugin, all settings are deleted. In my opinion it would be better to remove all plugin settings when deleting, not when deactivating.

    I think you wrote your review for the wrong plugin…

    In AJdG Matomo Tracker if you hide the review banner it won’t come back on its own. Also the plugin doesn’t store stats nor has it any controle over it as it has no way to tell Matomo to delete anything so that simply won’t happen.

    I am talking about the plugin settings like “Your Matomo site ID” or “Your matomo server address”. These settings disappeared after deactivating the plugin.

    The plugin cleans up after itself yes. This is a good thing.

    If you leave the plugin on, as it should be, you’re not bothered with ‘nonsense’ as you call it.

    Most plugins follow this golden rule. Keep settings when deactivating the plugin and delete when removing the plugin.
