Plugin & support fail :(
-
I stumbled upon Pepipost and was very enthusiastic. I had a chat with them about adding a DEV site, which support said was fine. Just make an account and follow instructions – quick and easy. Install the plugin and go.
I changed my DNS exactly as told, and after 24 hrs and a chat with support it was my host who told me the instructions weren’t correct. When adding TXT domains, there has to be a . after the domain (so yourdomain.com.) and that . was missing in the intructions. For the DKIM, I had to remove my domain from the entry.
So I did that, waited another day and finally was able to verify my domain. While waiting for Pepipost to approve it (which meant opening my DEV site) I added the plugin. That broke my WP install (4.7.2), just like the review below says. Many issues with WP and my theme, so I had to delete the plugin. Tested it on a brand new WP install to make sure it wasn’t a conflict with something on my site, and the same issues came up so it’s definitely the plugin.
Then, my site was refused. Another chat with support, and I was told to try again when the site was out of DEV. Could have told me that when I first asked if they would accept a DEV site ..!
Support denies the plugin has issues because it’s a new release and they had no clue as to how to revert my DNS back, so I had to open another ticket with my webhost.
TL;DR: avoid Pepipost and this plugin. It’s just not worth the time and aggravation. Shame, really, cos it does seem to be a great service and the backend etc. looked very promising.
