Why you changed a perfect plug-in I will never know

  • Why you decided to ruin a perfectly good, working plug-in I will never understand. The latest update has basically rendered my website as completely useless as the purpose of my site is to provide a list of activities for particular service user groups to be displayed on calendars and in lists. Your first big update initially removed all of my active calendars. After complaining on the forum that you had removed a much needed part of the functionality, you eventually replaced it. This may now, in some instances, show the desired information HOWEVER it does not comply with the rules set. Let me give you an example… I have a calendar on Google with 5 activities on for today….. Yet according the the ‘Today’ list provided by your plug-in there are 38 activities on today!

    I honestly wish 0 stars were an option

    I’m sorry the upgrade has (so far) not worked with your particular setup.

    As you can see with our activity we’re doing our best to improve the current version of the plugin. We’re working as fast as we can considering this is currently a free plugin we’re working on in our free time.

    A code rewrite was necessary for 2.0 as the original plugin hadn’t been updated since Dec 2012, so we’re working with a completely new architecture that is more maintainable going forward.

    As you can see in our support forums (https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/google-calendar-events), we made is as simple as possible to revert to the old version of the plugin when all else fails.

    In fact, you can download any particular tagged version.

    www.ads-software.com allows no way to “fork” or otherwise easily maintain two different “current” versions of the same plugin, otherwise we would go this route.

    We appreciate any detailed feedback and suggestions you can give us in the forums, and although we may not respond immediately, we do read them all.
