[Plugin: WordPress Text Message] broken

you haven’t given any details as to what is and what is not working. Obviously it works for us (we released it). We talk to people every day it works for and have thousands of users without any issues at all.

Have you tried it with all your plugins deactivated or on the default theme? Or a new WP install?

With all plugins deactivated – nada. Also tried switching to the default WP theme – nada. Message never sends or shows up in the que. Running WP 3.3.1.

When you say new WP install – do you mean to re-install the current version or a different install altogether?

Hasn’t worked for me either. Tried on 7 different sites. I just get the response from total bounty that thousands of people have downloaded it, so it must work. I don’t think they realize that just because someone downloads it doesn’t mean they are using it.

I don’t use your plugin… but I was wondering what that 225kb certificates file is that’s included in your plugin.

Does that get installed to the database and send out blast spam and emails?? It looks pretty fishy to me.

Here is just a tiny snippet from the questionable file:

As an experienced wordpress user, and part-time developer, I’d be pretty cautious of this one…

Can anyone provide me a website who has this plugin installed?

@josh: It might be worth alerting the folks over at plugins[at]www.ads-software.com about this. Just in case…

@brianleon – you can’t just say “it doesn’t work” and have no details – how can we troubleshoot that? Works fine for us in all test sites with different theme and plugin configurations, so we need more information.

@josh, @esmi – there’s nothing to be cautious about, those are widget placement files used for testing, you can delete theme (they don’t do anything). We’ll remove them in the next release.

everyone please try and test the new updated 2.08 version

tested on multiple webhosts – works fine

@josh, @esmi – .spc test files removed as well as simplepie file removed

also other bugs fixed
