Thank you, Harish. It was indeed a conflict. The plugin is this one: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/user-photo/ version 0.9.6. We have turned it off.

Thank you for your follow-up, Harish.

Without any comment, the page template displays in its expected screen width.

With the addition of a comment, it shrinks AND kicks the signed-in user out of dashboard access.

Thank you for your follow-up! It now seems like the perfect plugin for the task.

Just wanted to thank you for placing this comment. I am in the process of looking for a developer for a large project. This developer lives in my city, so I was prepared to contact him … but then decided to scout around for reviews.

So, yeah, that’s a strong no vote.

Hm. There doesn’t seem to be an edit option on the original post anymore. Is it closed?

Yes, I used the plugin. Yes, I rated it 3/5 based on my actual experience. My 3 was for “fine but not continuing to use it” based on the subscription/trial confusion and better alternatives.

The drop to 1 had to do with my suspicions regarding the reviews. As long as the thread is there to show the discussion, I’m fine with returning it to a 3/5.

Thanks!

@jan would you like me to adjust the posted review back to 3/5? That speaks to my experience, not to my suspicion regarding the reviews.

Otherwise, you can close this thread as is.

@jan Thanks for taking another look. I’m a zealous reader of reviews myself and give reviews when I can. And not just on www.ads-software.com plugins. I’ll defer to your eagle eye here. And, yes, I have been using the plugin. My first review (before the edit) was a 3/5.

@siteguarding I used your plugin, as I mentioned in my review above. In that period, my hosting provider detected files that your plugin did not. That was why I gave it a “meh” review. You say it would have been 14 days before I got any notice. Whether that or longer, I did not have a 5-star experience. Moreover, I received an email from you saying that the plugin subscription had expired; I received a notice in the backend as well. As I stated above, I did not realize that there was any kind of subscription or trial — probably because the description states nothing about a subscription or a trial.

But, as I stated before, I deleted the plugin in favor of WordFence and Sucuri. I think I’ll be just fine.

@andrew, let’s ask:

@siteguarding: Did you, anyone that you know, or anyone that you hired create the review accounts and reviews associated with the 5-star ratings of this plugin? Please respond directly.

As I noted in my review, I have no issue with pro/commercial plugins. See Wordfence and Sucuri for great examples. So:

@siteguarding: To avoid user confusion or being accused of unscrupulous practices, will you be updating the description to let people know that installation means just a one year license?

While I agree with you that translation / localization is good policy for plugin development, I find your approach infuriating. The vast majority of people are developing in their own language and NOT for sharing. Not the case here: it’s not in your language but you can take the code and work on it yourself — the license allows for it. Just because the developer isn’t doing the work for you (for free no less!) nor holding your hand doesn’t mean that the work itself is trash. And your “serve me and I will reward you with a better rating” is a revolting way to behave in this great community.

Shame on you.

The solution above did not remove it from the home page for me. The following solution did work:

Remove from content.php

<p><a class="btn btn-default read-more" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php _e( 'Read More', 'sparkling' ); ?></a></p>

Add to functions.php

add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'modify_read_more_link' );
function modify_read_more_link() {
return '<a class="btn btn-default read-more" href="' . get_permalink() . '">Read More</a>';
}

Needed this too. Thanks! Really a great theme.

The user who reported unfavorably about their experience has been a registered member on this site since 2011. Almost all of the favorable reviews, however, have been posted by people who have been here less than 3 months and who have only registered to leave one glowing review of this product.

Erm … Yeah, I think I am going to believe the long term honest reviewer. (Birdseye, could you say what alternative you selected? I am looking for a product.)

It would be great if you could address what looks to be fraudulent reviews on your page here, Plugin Author.

Liebe Grü?e aus Berlin, @wpcodingde, and many thanks for the work on the plugin.

I’m interested in the updated taxonomy feature, but I have not been able to get it to work for me.

I have a post for which I want to change the category between a certain time.

add_term – Taxonomy: category Term: current
delete_term – Taxonomy: category Term: current

In my multiple tests, set within minutes of each other, this neither added the category nor removed it. I made sure to click save in the plugin box AND to update the post.

This is on the right track for my needs though, so I look forward to hearing of a fix!

Does it disappear permanently after the “no, thanks” or does it persist?

+1 on this feature. I have categories that determine whether content is on the front page of the site or not: future, current, past. The content is already published, this category change merely moves it around.
