Good, but don’t like the attitude

  • I like it more than the one from Jetpack I have been using for many years, but now I’m beginning to doubt the plugin.

    The images are background images, not easy to get them responsive, unless not changing the size of the boxes, but I want them to change and keep the images nicely inside the boxes. And then there is the back-end, with a form to subscribe to the newsletter. Yes, I can ignore that, but I can’t delete that sidebar with links to social media and a link to rate the plugin, with already ‘rating 5’ added to the url. Don’t like this at all!

    Hey Jack,

    Thanks for your feedback.

    Our plugin does not use background images, it uses the default tag to display your related post images. Are you sure there are background images used on your website?

    Regarding the other comments about the sidebar (newsletter signup, rating URL), I’m sorry to hear you find this annoying. We’re able to offer you this plugin (and others) for free because we also sell premium plugins. The sidebar in the free plugin (directly and indirectly) converts some free users to paid users. This benefits every user in the end because we’ll have to stop supporting our free products if we weren’t making any money.

    Kind Regards,

    Barry Kooij

    It’s not so much that there is some advertising for itself, every plugin does that, but pre-adding rating 5 just doesn’t feel right to me. But I do really like the plugin.

    As to the background images, unless I’m using a totally different plugin ;), it really does use background images:

    div class="relpost-block-container"><a class="relpost-block-single" href="https://www.jacktummers.nl/brief-aan-jane/"><div style="width: 260px; height: 260px;"><div class="relpost-block-single-image" alt="Charlotte Bront?: Jane Eyre" style=" background: transparent url(https://www.jacktummers.nl/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/t-jane-eyre.jpg) no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 260px; height: 260px; "></div><div class="relpost-block-single-text" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; color: #333333;">Brief aan Jane</div></div></a>
