Yes, Gutenberg support is very important now. For clients and users in general, it is no longer a “nice to have” function but a “must have”.

Another vote for Gutenberg support. @byrev has his opinion. My opinion is that Gutenberg is a great change to WordPress and it will only improve with each update. I’m working with a client now who could never have been successful with the old editor + WPBakery + Elemental stuff. Gutenberg is easier and cleaner and simply makes sense for the majority of people who have not invested years learning the “old ways”. Please let this plugin support the future, not ancient history.

I’m seeing your new PDF search feature is released. It feels as though $1500/year is a bit steep. We want to search the 50 PDF files which our community association keeps online. The pricing comes to $30 per PDF per year, or $2.50 per PDF per month. Just for search. For a non-profit community website. That’s a lot.

You designed your pricing for medium and large corporations instead of smaller companies and non-profits. And that’s OK. But because we use WordPress, our annual recurring cost for plugins and related add-ons is currently at $150, and we have another $150 to spend when we find one-time-purchase plugins we want to add to the site.

Think about that. Adding Search IQ for PDFs would raise our current budget for recurring costs by 86%. Even if our site had $500 of recurring annual plugin fees right now, including Search IQ PDF searches would add a 21% line item to the budget. That’s a huge bump up in operating cost.

Naturally this makes me feel disappointed, but I’m not going to suggest that you shouldn’t make a profit on your software. Of course you should make money. Sadly you won’t be able to make any from us, or groups like ours. It’s a great product, though, and for those who can afford it, I hope they try it and help to make you successful.

My mistake. That’s a great feature and it makes a lot of sense …except it doesn’t really work out well because you told me that to put my amounts and measurements into the Item field and there is no way for the reader to know when something isn’t scaling or how to deal with that.

Hmm. Conundrum.

@boxystudio : If I must put both ranges and less-common quantities such as “1 box” or “1 can” or “1 small” into the ingredient column, then why bother having the amount and measurement columns at all? I don’t see that they provide anything useful, if we can’t use them as needed.

Consider how you would say that someone needs 2–3 tsp oregano, or 1–2 handfuls of chopped pecans. The usefulness of those fields is nil, in such cases.

Would it be better if recipe software expanded our creative options, instead of limiting them? Perhaps it would be better if the amount, measurement, and item fields were all text instead of trying to conform them to a digit, list item, and text. What benefit is there of having the amount stored separately, anyhow?

Just some thoughts. Thank you for working through all the problems related to recipe software. It’s a big task, and we’re all appreciative of your efforts!

I agree that this would be best implemented as a core feature. Group scheduling with multiple possibilities is a headache. When asking a group of people to choose a date for the theatre, or a party, or a work event, WordPress doesn’t really help us.

The two Doodle-like plugins that exist each have flaws. One is very Euro-centric and puts scheduling in BuddyPress Groups instead of making them more available. And if I have a membership of 300 people in a group and the organizer wants to invite just 20 of them to a home party, it’s not easy to do so as it requires a lot of typing. The plugin also ignores WP time formats (no AM/PM for US users) and has no “all day” option for events. Furthermore, the degree of precision for event length is silly. Nobody needs to schedule a 1-minute event.

The second plugin has fatal activation errors and has not been corrected in more than 3 months.

I’d really like to see this functionality become part of the BP feature set. Now that about 8 months have passed, is it possible to get this on the schedule?

Hi, Robert. The problem is not fixed. I also ave tried it on multiple new WP installations and your version 1.0.6 has the error on line 87 as reported earlier.

I look forward to trying this plugin. I bet it’s really great.
