  • I am sorry to say Shaon but janeandboucle is right with her opinion.

    The version 2.7 may have more features. But for many people it was so unexpected change and has brought them more troubles than advantages. If a customer calls us after update “hey your download section doesn’t work” and we didn’t change anything then something must be wrong with your plugin. You are a good programmer, we all know and we also respect your work.

    Making plugin compatible with previous version and offering admin to convert would be expectable solution from an author of plugin with 800.000+ downloads.

    You are right in many things. But keep in mind – the truth is always somewhere in the middle. What I can see in your posts is that you refuse to hear the feedback if it is negative. Wise people always keep reveiwing their opinions.

    Good luck and let’s see what feedback will come in following days.

    Dear Shaon, I am really sorry if my feedback has hurt you. Trust me I have no anger.

    I have played with version 2.7 quite deeply today. Even after 3 hours I was not able to set up the WPDM to the look similar to previous plugin v2.6.xx design. It is, of course, possible that I didn’t recognise or understand something. But at the end, there are 90% users just like me. If I was completely wrong, you wouldn’t be receiving so many troubleshooting or negative feedbacks today. And again, I am really sorry about it – I love your plugin, actually except the latest version 2.7 :).

    You say you have 50.000+ hapy users of 2.7. But it is still around 6% of all your users. The others doesn’t have time to monitor all plugin home websites. And once you make such a big update, you catch them up unprepared, maybe without time to spend for updating all links, themes or whatsoever.

    I wouldn’t like to advise you. But someone could say that the result of such huge update should have the same visual and data as before the update. So the user doesn’t need to touch anything while the website keeps working. But after admin logs in he may get the news, questions, maybe wizard just as options. Or even a mandatory thing but when he is ready and has a time for it.

    Again, no offense. I didn’t write this in anger. I am now back on 2.6.96 and would be happy if someone could guide me how to upgrade. Maybe I will be the 50.001 who will love it. Nobody’s perfect.
