Misleading features on free version. Stay aware!

    Cheating users with free versions has become an increasingly common practice on WP, and this plugin is no exception.
    My experience with this plugin is that after I installed it and set up an article submission form, two months later I found myself with the custom submit button gone, the custom submit button gone, the sandlaoenel gone, the form fields gone (author and checkbox plus T&C text), the custom fields that could be added to the form gone.
    This practice is inadmissible and this plugin should be banned on WP.org, as there is no minimum code of ethics to be respected. It is not ok to set a form on the site and find yourself with it modified at the first update. We should turn ourselves into guardians to guard every plugin update, maybe their creator removes a feature that you were relying on when you installed it…

    Hello @flaviusv ,

    It seems there is some misunderstanding with everything that you have mentioned in your review. We haven’t removed any features that is already available. May be there is some misconfigurations or any other issue due to which our plugin is not working properly as how it should? If you can describe your issue a bit more clearly with screenshots then may be we can help to debug the issue?

    You can definitely check all our change logs and download and install our previous versions as well to test if you really feel that the plugin features has been removed.

    We hope to get a reply back if your really want us to help you.

    Thanks.

    I don’t waste my time writing reviews on WP. I work since 2009 with WP and imagine I create an account last day especially for writing this review.

    I will uninstall it and find another plugin. Time waisted…

    Hello @flaviusv ,

    Thank you for your quick reply and we do understand your frustration but we want to really assure you that we haven’t removed any of the available features. You can check all the changes logs along with the code of our plugin’s development from the link below.

    Our plugin does have the PRO version but both Free and PRO version should work as how they are described and we haven’t removed any of the existing features.

    Like how you have been using the WordPress from long time, we are also actively developing and giving support for our plugins from long time very much proactively . If you just have asked us in the support before posting this review then we would cleared any confusion or misunderstanding before hand. But still we would like to request you to give us a chance to clear any caused misunderstanding with our plugin’s missing features that you are saying were available some time ago but not available now.

    Can you please explain to us using some screenshots or a video so that we can understand it a bit more clearly? Right now we are not even completely understanding what are the features that were available and now are not available.

    Thanks.
