I appreciate your candor, but I didn’t reach out to this forum to be lambasted about my choices for hosting for my clients. If we are being honest a plugin like Shield shouldn’t need to exist nor my plugin for simplifying the WordPress backend.

They exist though because WordPress like MS Windows is the most popular choice. So we developed services to fit around the popular option. The fact of the matter is there are better CMS options out there, but WP is the most widely accepted as is GoDaddy hosting. I was seeking to get out of hosting and they reached out to me.

They weren’t my first choice either, but GDWP hosting is my choice after extensive research of all the options and polling my clients. The price they offer is digestible by clients where WPEngine and similar options aren’t plus GoDaddy support is good and will spend literally over hour with you on the phone.

Anyways I chose your plugin to help with some hack attempts we had on GDWP hosting midway into the migration process for my clients. Your plugin works and has been beneficial in warding off those attacks. You or whoever your team are have done an excellent job!

Please don’t ever berate someone for their hosting choices and just shrug off something cause you don’t agree with it. I have worked with you in the past on tweaking your plugin to work with GoDaddy and you were excellent at that time.

We conferred through email and you went beyond the call of duty to help me. I was once again reaching out to you for what I feel is a serious issue. Such a downloaded plugin not operating properly with automatic updates on one of the fastest growing WP hosts shouldn’t be overlooked. However, you decided to basically tell me to figure it out. That is fine and thanks for your time!

Can we connect over email and you take a look at one of these accounts. I use GDWP hosting for over 100 projects and mainly cause I decided to get out of hosting. So I polled clients and that is who they all wanted me to go with from 5 options.

I have them looking into it. Are you sure it couldn’t be anything on your end? I really need to get this corrected as I use your plugin as a default in my plugin stack for all projects. The automated updates is paramount.

I think it was related a js caching issue or something. I use Firefox Dev Edition and it just keeps showing 0. I went into MS Edge and its working fine now. Thanks for your help!

So do you have a solution or is it a bug in Woo? Thanks again for the assistance and your time.

I had that set at one time. I literally tried everything to get this to work before reaching out to the forums.

Thanks Mike! I sent the details through a DM on Twitter.

I did this once already, but did it again and still got the same result…

That was just a typo this time. It still doesn’t calculate even with like this https://snag.gy/vFexRQ.jpg which you can verify by looking at this https://snag.gy/Ae8ric.jpg and you can test yourself by going to https://www.zazzykids.com.

This https://snag.gy/0UMw3L.jpg works fine and charges taxes the way it should, but this https://snag.gy/LEiobm.jpg results in zero for taxes.

My technician got it figured out. I think between the three of us he was able to come up with a final solution…

If you are referring to the black and white that is part of the site design. The profile photo is actual BP photo. I’m assuming this Is a common issue with BP. Do you do side work? Sent you a donation btw. Not much but I have already integrated you plugin with 5 clients. I have a WP stack I use for all websites and plan installing yours on all projects. Never used an SEO framework previously honestly due to the overly complex setup. Not for me but for my users.

OK. I disabled it. Thanks for the tips. It is hosted on GoDaddy Managed WordPress Hosting for the record. It is actually a fairly good product but it is problematic with BuddyPress.

We setup another account and things have changed. This time it just outputs no image with the share request to Facebook. Which is honestly better than at least associating the wrong image.

I’m going to have the blog owner setup another test account. I do appreciate all of your assistance. Do you take tips?
