In reply to: [Post Pay Counter] Cannot access websiteHello,
I was just now finally able to get in, although it took close to 2 minutes to load the page, which is odd because my internet is pretty quick, I can usually pull up even pretty demanding sites like YouTube in less then a second.
Just thought it was worth mentioning.
Also: Are both the Post Pay Counter free and pro versions updated frequently? My main concern would be compatibility with WordPress, and since it updates often, I thought that was worth asking as well.
Thanks!
I do not use any other themes on my site, other than the other linked above, so whether the plugin works on other themes is not my concern, nor is it relevent to the issue at hand. I have not claimed that the plugin is broken on all themes, it probably works fine on others, I simply stated that it does not work on the one I use, which is linked directly in my last comment.

In reply to: [MDC Private Message] Plugin breaks site menu! Likely a bug problem!I posted there because it was a problem that made the plugin unuable for me, and as such, deserves to be mentioned when writing any form of review for this plugin. I would be happy to provide you whatever information you require if you wish to address the problem directly, if so desired. If not that’s understandable, but I stand by my original review. I cannot give a plugin 5 stars if it is unable to run properly on my WordPress site. I don’t say this to insult, but just as a statement of fact.
I apologize if anything here was taken out of context, but I had come here not to bash your plugin, but to give it a fair grading based on my experience of it to date. I can’t give it a 5 star rating when there is something that detracts from the experience like what I’ve described.
I would just only like to see the plugin optimized a bit more so it runs at a slighter faster rate than before. My site speeds are pretty good, and I’ve done a lot to improve the site’s cache features and so on, to ensure better performance, and I can see when something is slowing up my site, like WP Ticket is.
The plugin is beautiful, no doubting there, but is also a tad too beefy for my liking.
As for defining bloated, let me re-phrase, as you are right, that can be taken a number of ways. I meant in the sense that, of all plugins, it detracts from overall site speed the most, by a large margin.
I will look into discussing this more with your staff on the support site shortly, but for the moment just want to clarify my position: WP Ticket is good, but could be made better. That’s all I meant to say.
For clarification, I simply took offense at your last statement: “If you do not need pro grade functionality, it is ok to look for another solution offering less functionality hence less footprint.” As this feels very much like a PR move to shut down criticism by telling consumers to go away and find another competitor’s product, since they themselves have no interest in addressing the criticism. If this was just a misinterpretation of meanings, I also apologize.
While you are correct in the sense that all plugins add to longer page loading times, you deflect the specifics of my criticisms. I say your plugin is bloated not out of some bizarre hatred, but by looking at my own WordPress-based statistics, which very clearly shows the problem.
Technically any more advanced hosting plans could compensate for the bloat produced by this plugin, but any experienced plugin author should not have to rely on this as an excuse, in order to shield their plugin from criticism by its userbase.
I have seen many other plugins of varying types, with a much wider scope of features and a lot less impact on site speed.
I raised these issues as concerns, simply wanting to see them addressed, but if this is the type of immature defensiveness raised because of a simple constructive criticism, I would advise taking time away from producing plugins so you can take some time to better practice your customer service skills. I do not like your tone, and hope that this is not representative of your company.
I just noticed the link didnt come through. Will try to attach it here
Hello, and certainly! No one wants to see this resolved more than me. 🙂 I am running off of Engine, which is a custom-build premium WP theme, and it appears that, as of the most recent WordPress update, when this plugin is active now, all items on the section menu on my site disappear.
I will link to the theme’s store page, and if you need any other info, I’ll be glad to share!

In reply to: [Facebook Vinyl] BUG: show only 25 photosIt’s been 4 months now since this support topic was created.
I’m sorry to be rude, but where is this plugin update that was supposed to fix this?
I know it takes awhile to work on plugin updates, but this feels like way too long a time to wait.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Facebook Vinyl] Suddenly not allowing me to insert new galleryYeah, that’s happening to me too,
which is especially odd, as I am using WordPress 3.5.2,
which is still anything but outdated.What can be done to fix this?

In reply to: [Flyzoo Chat] BuddyPress compatible?Thanks for replying so quickly.
I love Flyzoo’s sleek, responsive interface,
and the idea of incorporating an Achievement system of sorts,
to promote chat use among the website’s users,
as well as inclusion of analytics for administrators.
All in all, from looks alone, a stunning plugin, which
certainly looks many steps ahead of any current competition.That said, I have a few feature suggestions for possible inclusion:
*Support for existing WordPress achievement plugins,
such as BadgeOS, and/or Achievements for WordPress,
to make it easier for those of us with
existing achievement systems.*If Flyzoo doesn’t have this already, (my apologies if it does,)
increased compatibility with mobile platforms would be awesome!That’s all, really.
Good luck on what looks to be a very promising plugin!
I will be eagerly anticipating future updates of Flyzoo!Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [BuddyPress Activity Privacy] How to set default activity privacy levelThanks for getting back to me, and sorry for my delayed reply.
Where should I input the code you suggested, specifically?
My website’s theme is not natively compatible with BuddyPress,
but I do have the latest version of BuddyPress.A specific outline of what to do would be very helpful, thanks.
I’m still somewhat new to WordPress,
and still only a novice at programming,
so apologies for my lack of comprehension.
