Works great for non multi site

  • If you have a standalone WP site (not multi site) then it is very good software. However if you have a multi site (WPMU) then don’t use it.

    I don’t recommend buying any add-ons as that changes your copy to a commercial version. Once you have the commercial version you have to subscribe to ongoing support to get updates for your copy of the plugin and its add-ons.

    If you don’t renew your subscription the commercial version then starts to harass you into buying support when it gets close to and past the renewal deadline and threatens that it may not work properly when it is not updated.

    The free (non-commercial) copy stays up to date for free and works really good on a standalone WP site ONLY.

    Hi Wayne,

    If you don’t want to see any dashboard notices from a copy of UpdraftPLus that you know you don’t want to ever update again, then simply remove the directory wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/udaddons – UD will carry on working, but you will see no notices to do with updates. (There are other methods – this is just one).

    The free (non-commercial) copy stays up to date for free

    “Free”; well; kind-of. Time and labour and associated expenses (including salaries) are spent by us on producing those updates… labour which is funded by the purchases of people who support us financially by buying things. You will only carry on receiving free updates into the future, if enough people ignore your advice….

    starts to harass … threatens …

    This is silly. The system sends you an email offer of a 40% renewal coupon for renewing, *and you can desubscribe from all our emails just by clicking the unsubscribe link in any of them*. That email points out the fact that we can’t guarantee that future versions of WordPress, which don’t yet exist, will be compatible with past releases of UpdraftPlus – so that you can make an informed decision about whether you want to receive future updates or not.

    i.e. It works like with other commercial WordPress plugins do (no author can honestly tell you that a past release of his plugin will be compatible with every future, not-yet-existing release of WordPress).

    David
