This brakes anything below WordPress 5.0

  • Not sure how the developer tests his code, but the plugin brakes the site completely upon activation. Again, this is for anything below 5.0. The whole site shows error 500 till you delete the plugin from the plugins folder. Thank god I have access to the server, but many people don’t.
    The function which brakes the site is this: “register_block_type” and it was only introduced in WordPress 5.0, so anything below has no idea about it.

    As a user I respect your rating and comment but if you don’t update your wordpress core thousands of plugin can break your website. WordPress 5.0 was released on December 6th, 2018. Another thing is, you should never test any plugin in live server, better to test in a dev server or dev version first. Keep your wordpress and other plugin’s updated.

    A free plugin gets 1 star rating just it doesn’t support a wordpress version released 2 years ago is kind of demotivating the developer.

    Thank you

    Your comment doesn’t make sense. If you know your plugin is not compatible with the older WP version, just let people know. You advertise your plugin as 3.5+ compatible which is a lie.
    In regards to testing, do you think there are many people out there using WP and having the option to test on the dev? Really?

    My comment is there to make people aware of the issue since you failed to do so.

    I wish you all the best.

    I agreed my plugin has bug and having bug in a technical project is not new, wordpress core has bugs too and that is why they regularly released security updates, new features, fixes new feature.

    You didn’t write comment, you reviewed and made rating 1 for a bug, you could open a support ticket here from the plugin’s support page which is the common standard process. Forward combability is always done in plugin, background compatibility should be check but can have bugs, I agreed for the bug and will fix and release new version, but your 1 star will be forever.

    Thank you

    I really appreciate the effort, but I think you have to remove “3.5+” compatibility from the plugin description.
    You use https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/get_user_locale/
    which was introduced in 4.7
    My version is 4.6, so it breaks.
    You dont have to do it for me, just update the plugin description.

    Thank you for your suggestion get_user_locale() was as develop progress feature which is not completed.
