As usual, ….

What question can I help you answer?

Signed,
the short-sighted author

If you go to all the work of writing the plug-in, why can’t you write a set of instructions? What possible reason?

this plugin barely needs an instruction. It’s basically just fire it up and you’re done?

Agreed – this is one of the most simple to use plugins I’ve come across. Your post is rude and unnecessary. Instructions also take a really long time and have to be constantly updated, hence why it’s so easy to use and there’s a forum of hundreds of people willing and waiting to help you.

Now… what is your problem with the plugin and we can help you.

Oh boo hoo; “Instructions take a really long time”; boo hoo.
Let’s compare it to another Events plug-in: https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/getting-started/?utm_source=em&utm_medium=plugin&utm_content=installationlink&utm_campaign=plugin_links

As you will notice pages of docs. Why? Because they know that for those who HAVEN’T used the plug-in before, there are many possible options for each action. Instructions, or at least support docs come with everything, from your car to your iPad. You obviously write code, not everyone does; that’s a reason we use WordPress. If we wrote code, we wouldn’t need the plug-in. But then again, Events Manager for WP gets our order and our money. Why? Because they care enough to write docs. So quit your whining that “Instructions take too long”. Typical GenX response. I’m sure the author could have used the donation or purchase. But since you bystanders are so happy to ridicule me, it weighed into my decision of who to give the order. You might think me rude, as you stated; but I find you very arrogant, and extremely pompous (without reason). So when the next opportunity arises, voice your arrogance again, and butcher another sale for yet another author. And BTW, we have used WP for many years, and have an in-depth understanding of its operation. We also use a number of plug-ins and themes; and this plug-in is, by far NOT that intuitive or functional. According to your rationale, WP should have the Codex either; but you know what? IT’S THERE FOR GOOD REASONS. Get a life.

The last two sentences should read: According to your rationale, WP shouldn’t have the Codex either; but you know what? IT’S THERE FOR GOOD REASONS. Get a life.

Would you like me to write some instructions for you so you can use the plugin?

Also – If this plugin does not suit your needs, please choose another.

According to your rationale, WP shouldn’t have the Codex either; but you know what? IT’S THERE FOR GOOD REASONS

Yes, WordPress does have a codex, but do you think it was all written by the authors of WordPress? Nope. Anyone with an account can log in and update the codex, expand on some of the content, or even fill in some of he blank pages.

That’s the beuty of the Open Source model – Anyone can contribute. If you think that documentation is missing or incomplete or something, there’s nothing stopping you from writing it and contributing. In many cases the auuthor would prefer that to a small monetary donation!

And I expect you’ll probably respond by saying you couldn’t even help write the documentation as you don’t understand how it should work (despite others saying it’s intuitive). In that case, you could still help by being specific with what you’re struggling with.
Had you started this thread by saying “How do I make it do X, I’ve tried Y and Z and they’ve not done quite what I expected because…” you would have got a much quicker respponse, and one that hellped with what you wanted.

Very good! You take both sides of the argument. By giving my X’s and Z’s, when do I get my share of the donations?

It doesn’t make any difference how many people wrote the Codex. The important part is that it IS THERE! For this plug-in IT IS NOT.
Stop avoiding the real problem.

Simply, greenenergycafe, use another plug-in. This is a great plug-in and I have to say thanks to Eran Miller.
