GOOD IDEA. TERRIBLE EXECUTION. NEEDS SERIOUS IMPROVEMENTS.

  • Pointless api / plugin.

    Top 3 Drawbacks (in the name of constructive feedback)

    1. Doesn’t automatically import Patreon posts into WP. You must always do it manually through the plugin settings in WP.

    2. When importing works, it does NOT import videos or pictures. You must manually add those yourself after import by copy/pasting it from your Patreon for each post one by one.

    3. Doesn’t give option to add url link back to original Patreon post. If you’re NOT going to import videos or pics, AT LEAST have a link back to the original post on our Patreon page. Otherwise, you’re just importing words without the visuals which add CONTEXT to our posts.

    Other important issues to note:

    4. Doesn’t have bulk edit settings for all the posts imported.

    5. Should included some form of a simple Patreon logo/button automatically included with each post (it’s FREE marketing for them and increases visibility for Patreon-exclusive content)

    Basically, this doesn’t save you time or energy, it just gives you more work to do. It’s a shame because the idea or intention behind this api plugin is good, but the execution is TERRIBLE.

    Wouldn’t recommend till devs address, fix and include at least those top 3 issues.

    The only thing it did for me was import ALL my Posts from Patreon. I guess that counts for 1 star. Another star for their support time turn-around (usually within 24-48 hrs), but they do speak very techy, I just wish they made it simpler for us not programmers / devs to understand their jargon.

    I hope they resolve those issues soon.
