No. Just no. I’ve had this installed since 2014 and never had issues with updating the charts I have using a CSV. Version 3.10.15 worked without issue, the same as it always has. The latest version does not. For all but a couple of chart types, it gives a message to upgrade to pro. I literally had to revert back to that version to have any means to edit charts that are a decade old.

I stand by what I said. This was a change done without any clear notice, is recent, and prevents users from doing the same editing tasks they’ve done for years. If that’s the new terms moving forward, then okay, you’re a business, but to retroactively hobble the plugin is appalling behaviour, and calls into question just what else you have planned for other products.

That is most definitely NOT the case. I have multiple Area Charts, Column Charts, and even a Geo Chart that were all created in the free version. I’ve been updating these for years with no issue, the last time in March 2024. Went to update them today, and every one of them is now forcing a licence purchase. I have never had the PRO version, as I don’t use graphs enough to justify it. I’ve also had to rollback the plugin to restore the same functionality as it always had in the past.

The way the changelog has glossed over these changes, and the way the plugin is now described, is extremely disingenuous. The change is a literal hijacking and ransom of site content. At its core, it’s a fine plugin, but trust is now broken if this is the developer behaviour on offer.
