Installed as part of the setup process from a parallel plugin

  • Updated from initial one star review because of developer update, this plugin was installed along with an SMTP plug-in as the permission to install it was embedded in the setup wizard for the other plugin. My review is based on that behavior and not on the plugins functionality. Developers have been quick to explain why this was installed and pointed out where the installation happens. It is on page four of the setup wizard for their SMTP plug-in, which I did enjoy and found easy to use. However this type of installation should not be the standard so I am leaving a three-star review for this plugin and do hope that they makes the process more transparent in order to create a better first impression.

    Hi @eaec,

    I see that our colleagues on the WP Mail SMTP team have responded to you and have shared your feedback with us and WPForms.

    I’m sorry you had a negative experience when it came to installing WP Mail SMTP but I do hope you’ll give All in One SEO a chance as we believe it’s the best SEO plugin for WordPress.

    Thanks, yes I have gotten replies from the team on both of the other plugins and likewise I will change my rating here to 3 stars – I appreciate thenresponses. In a necessarily security focused environment like newcomers and WordPress this type of behavior by a plug-in is questionable, and I really do hope that they make a separate page asking people to try out those plugins as I would have likely done so having had a positive experience with the setup wizard up until that point. That needs to be a separate page and not an embedded enabled by default toggle on an unrelated process and should be opt in as opposed to opt out focused.
