Great potential – sadly falling slightly short

  • This is a massive shout out to the makers of SHe: You guys and gal have really discovered a niche in Elementor’s core functionality and I’m aware of how hard it is to keep a free plugin alive and well supported. Your website’s ‘Coming Soon’ section is making my mouth water. Logo-swap on scroll is a major issue for us and would be an amazing addition… but it seem to have been in the making for a long time and 8 months (as of today) without a plugin update make me worry. We’d happily pay for a premium version of your plugin if that’s what’s stopping you. But as it is, it’s falling slightly short of what’s needed.

    Hi, I’m happy to hear that you enjoy the plugin. The reason no updates were made for so long is that we have been working on the pro version and the free version has been stable with very few support issues. We haven’t gone anywhere.
    I’ve just recently updated the plugin for current WordPress version compatibility and we are very very close to having the pro version finished. We have integrated freemius for easy subscriptions and upgrades to unlock pro features. We are working on the last few details which, unfortunately, tend to take the longest. We have a fully functional and tested pro version that more than doubles the current features. We’ve added even more than what’s on the coming soon list.
    We are a very small team that can only work on this in our spare time. I really appreciate your enthusiasm and patience.
    Hopefully, I can earn a better review from you soon.

    Do you have an ETA for the pro version? 5 months ago, you were very close to releasing it. Any closer now?

    @imincognito Yes we are much closer now. Since then we found out we had to add an entire admin section for settings and account info. This was a major, time consuming addition. More recently we had to rework the custom nav menu and take it in a completely different direction. That is one of the biggest, most complex features of the plugin so an entire revamp took some time. Also recently, elementor changed how their template system works and that entire portion of the plugin had to be redone as well. We are introducing header block templates to the pro version. That is an even bigger job than the others.
    The plugin is now integrated with freemius for using activation codes to upgrade from free to pro version.
    We have come a really long way and are very excited to release the pro version. With there only being 2 of us doing this in our spare time while managing family and the pandemic it has taken longer than expected unfortunately. We want to release the best product we can especially now that it will be a paid plugin. This just takes time. Hopefully no more major changes come up and we can get this thing released.

    Also, just made a Facebook page Facebook.com/stickyheadereffects
