Reviewing your own plugin??

  • My thoughts on it to begin with were that it was a bit of a scam in the sense that it was a starting point plugin. Which you would have to buy all kind of extras to have it work properly.
    Which turns out to be quite true. Something that is revealing about the personality behind the plugin.
    Then seeing the owner leaving his own review….bout says it all.

  • It boils down to personal preference… I can give you my unbiased opinion after reviewing over a dozen of these scripts, I ended up using this one PRECISELY for the reason you hate it. Because it is a “starting point”. It is in a sense bare bones as in “not bloated” with stuff you probably do not need but all the things you DO NEED to get started.

    You are probably after something that has every feature under the sun bundled in, that’s perfectly fine and fair. Others (like me) value the simplistic approach of having just what we need as a foundation to build on top of it.

    Also do consider that the developer of the theme DOES INVEST time, effort and money into making this FREELY AVAILABLE. It is only fair that he sets up ways to generate revenue and otherwise monetize certain portions of the application.

    I don’t believe your review to be “objective” or fair even. I just think it isn’t the plugin you are looking for.

    @franktcmarketing WPCasa IS a starting point plugin and as @redstormj correctly points out that’s exactly what many users appreciate.

    But leaving a one star review on a FREE product depreciating the hard work of others and even call it scam is something that makes me sad in this WordPress world.

    Also, where exactly did I review my own plugin? I’m the owner. Joe (who left the review) works with me but is definitely a user too. But you probably know better as you are able to judge personalities behind plugins in your own world… and that’s ok.

    @redstormj Thanks a lot for chiming in and defending the idea behind free WordPress plugins.
