2.9.2 is stuffed full of locked pro widgets

  • Previous versions did not have all the (locked) pro widgets included in the editor. I’m about to turn a website over to a client who does not want the pro version. Having a bunch of widgets that she can’t use makes me look bad as a developer.

    How do I turn them off? I cannot find any options in the settings to hide pro widgets from the editor menu. There is no reason for them to clutter the free version, especially when they are placed above available widgets.

  • Hi there,

    I agree with @ anne96. What is the use of a function that cannot even be tested?

    I am a web designer and developer and I depend a lot on the clients’ wishes. Some of my clients have no problems paying 200 or 300 dollars annually to have certain special functions, but others do not want to spend more than necessary for their economy or for not needing it. Currently most of the premium plugins require annual payments and, therefore, in my case is the client who is responsible for those costs, since I as a designer can not afford more than 3000 dollars annually to maintain the payment plugins of the clients.

    Using the free version of your plugin is correct and although it does not give you direct income, it does increase the opinion of users about your plugin. It is obvious that some like “update to the PRO version” should appear to give you publicity and encourage the purchase, but is it really necessary to show a series of totally useless elements? Wouldn’t it be better for the designer to decide if he wants to deactivate those elements, display them or buy the PRO version of the plugin?

    It’s just an opinion about a plugin that was perfect for the designer, since he could deliver a clean final project to the client.

    Thank you for your understanding and I hope you will consider it for future updates.
