That is, we may need to inform our plugin users about the plugin updates which we frequently perform as Wordpress updates.</p></blockquote> <p>Clearly I'm missing something. Wouldn't that be covered by having your plugin listed in the repository and keeping the SVN there up to date? Any time a plugin is updated, I get a notice in my admin side and I can update it from there. No email needed! Woo.</p> <p>It would probably be better if you put a registration as something optional.

I found a solution to putting different number of posts on certain pages.</p> <p>Try using a <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts">query</a> before your loop<br /> <code>&lt;?php query_posts($query_string.&#39;&amp;posts_per_page=-1&#39;); ?&gt;</code></p> <p>You can replace "-1" with the number of posts you would like to display.

I'm not giving anyone an email address just to use a plugin from the Plugin Directory...that's crazy. I can understand an optional signup form but to demand my email address to let me use it is a waste of my time installing it.</p> <p>Imagine if all the plugins required us to send an anonymous person our email address before we could activate them. What would be the point of the "Activate Plugin" link? I activated it, but now the developer wants me to activate AGAIN by validating my email? My email has nothing to do with this plugin!</p> <p>REMOVE THIS PLUGIN FROM THE DIRECTORY! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/175208#post-977890 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 16:07:11 +0000 Otto42 977890@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>This is not a particularly useful thread.</p> <p>If you have a problem with the way any plugin works, or feel that it's somehow violating the rules, then you need to report it here: <a href="http://wordpress.org/report-bugs/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/report-bugs/</a></p> <p>That will bring it to the attention of people who will make the decision on it.

Don't chastize them because they found a way to promote their service by giving you free stuff. </p> <p>How many of you have a "preferred customer" card at the grocery store? Did you give them your address on the registration form? How about at your favorite electornics store, like Best Buy or Office Depot? Oops, better stop doing that - they'll spam you and you won't even know it! How is this any different? Should we ban all of these customer loyalty programs too?</p> <p>I have never seen a high pressure sales page or anything when signing up for their newsletter, and you don't have to read their emails, and you can unsubscribe right away (barring any technical glitches). I was also never forced to pay one thin dime for any of their plugins, but I have purchased a few items from them that make my life easier and help me make money from my blog. If you want to make money from your blog, pony up first - you get nothing for free!</p> <p>I guess this thread is really just someone complaining because they can't get what they want handed to them on a silver platter.

But there are no such options. They are register for the newsletter or don't use the plugin. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/175208#post-973995 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 22:50:33 +0000 grandslambert 973995@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Personally, I would really hate to see these wonderful plugins removed from the site. I use many of them and the fact that I had to sign up to a newsletter did not bother me in the least. It cost me nothing to use these wonderful plugins that help me monetize my blogs. And you only have to sign up once to use every plugin they create.</p> <p>Plus, the newsletter I get from them has taught me a lot. I am an old developer (20+ years) and could probably write any of these plugins myself, but why? To save a few bytes in my inbox? Fact of the matter here is that they use aWeber to sign you up to a newsletter, and aWeber DOES NOT tolerate the use of the email lists created through their service to be SPAMmed. So you are protected by a third party - not that the wonderful people at MaxBlogPress would ever SPAM you anyway.</p> <p>And if you are that worried about getting SPAMmed, just create a free Yahoo or Gmail account and use that for signup. Problem solved! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/175208#post-973980 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 22:21:39 +0000 johnkolbert 973980@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I agree with removal of all Maxblogpress' plugins from the WP.org repo.

Please, plugin authors, do not start this bad habit, and thank you to all the others who contribute genuinely free &#38; unencumbered plugins to the community. The sharing, open source spirit is what makes WordPress work.</p> <p>I don't know what 'banning' would mean. The person can make whatever plugins they want. It is very likely that this kind of plugin will eventually be removed from the official Plugins database <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/</a> for the same kind of reasons that over 200 themes were removed from the Theme Directory a month ago, when Matt M. (the founder of WP) realized they were not compatible with the GPL license (or, the free philosophy of the authors of WP). In that case, those theme authors can still make their themes, and users may still choose to use them (or even buy them), but this website will not distribute those themes. They have to distribute it on their own website, if they want to include the objectionable stuff. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/175208#post-957033 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 20:14:03 +0000 jmccoyfl 957033@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>You might not like their tactics but they are Internet Marketers as well as plugin creators.

Personally with so many services/urls not working any more, i find the plugin worth while just for this.</p> <p><strong>In regards to the registration:</strong></p> <p>I've already mentioned this before, but in short, i have no problem with it, there plugins are more than worth it (especially some of there other plugins) and if you don't want to stay subscribed you can just unsubscribe, it really isn't difficult :)</p> <p><strong>In fact I'd go as far to say that i'm glad they do it</strong>, because this helps them build their business and so they can spend more time making and supporting good quality plugins that i can use. They have to make a living and if their plugins don't make money for them, there's only so much free time they can spend on their support and development! A free plugin that also allows the publisher to make money is really the best of both worlds for a pluging user in my mind :) But well that's just the way my mind works :) :)</p> <p><strong>Also in regards to Spam:</strong></p> <p>For starters if you agree to someone's newsletter, than what they sand you is <strong>not Spam</strong> PERIOD. </p> <p>Secondly, they don't send out all that many emails and quite often when they do it's about updates to there free plugins. Yes they do promote there paid plugins and sometimes other peoples software and services/products, but so far from what i've seen it's been good stuff if you're interested in that kind of stuff. But seriously you can just unsubscribe if you decide there emails don't have nay value to you, i personally haven't been sent anything from them yet that has made me want to unsubscribe, but that's just me.</p> <p>Also in regards to the concern over them giving your email address to other people, i really don't think they'd do that, it just wouldn't be worth it for the bad name they'd eventually end up with because of it, their newsletter is worth money to them and their not going to do any thing to hurt that, plus i've seen no evidence of it since i've been subscribed.</p> <p>Sorry for the long post, i never meant to write this much :)</p> <p>Oh and sorry about the use of so many smileys, it's just my style lol </p> <p><strong>Jayen</strong> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/175208#post-889914 Mon, 03 Nov 2008 03:38:19 +0000 Jayen 889914@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I'm sorry, but to Call to ban MaxBlogPress plugins because of this is totally unfair. These guys make great plugins for free, seriously you can pay for far worse plugins. To expect people to do this stuff totally for free is just ignorant especially as these plugins are mostly aimed at people who blog to make money! You want to make money from blogging, but don't expect the people who programed your plugins to make any money?</p> <p>As for Tzetze not being able to unsubscribe, that must have been some kind of error at the time, these guys aren't spamers.</p> <p>I use most of their plugins and have no problem receiving their newsletter, it's more than a far exchange.</p> <p>Jayen </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/175208#post-876622 Wed, 15 Oct 2008 07:13:32 +0000 mikey1 876622@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Thank you Tzetze.Member Since<br /> October 15, 2008 (4 hours)<br /> you're free to block who you want. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/175208#post-876538 Wed, 15 Oct 2008 03:15:00 +0000 Tzetze 876538@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>This site is a total pain in the buttocks.

The problem with MaxBlogPress' approach is the lack of disclosure. </p> <p>MaxBlogPress' developer probably recognizes that if the plugin was offered in the reverse order few people would sign up. In other words if the user had to deal with the sales page first, then the newsletter, then the confirmation email, then download the plugin fewer users would bother. This is why MaxBlogPress has to use deceptive practices.</p> <p>I can't help but to think that someone using such a high pressure sales page will eventually end up selling the email addresses collected to spammers when he realizes that his other products don't sell well. Maybe he won't sell the emails and will just become associated with a company that does--it's really amounts to the same thing in the end--more spam email.</p> <p>If MaxBlogPress wants to use high pressure sales pages he should be entitled, so long as he/she is upfront and reverses the download page by starting with the high pressure sales page. However, it should be eliminated from the plugins listed on the WP site.</p> <p>Yes, do use PayPal to reward developers. Do hire WP developers if you need a plugin or theme specifically developed for you.</p> <p>For now, I stand by the call to ban MaxBlogPress from distributing plugins on the WordPress site. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/175208#post-757036 Mon, 12 May 2008 18:52:08 +0000 mikey1 757036@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I agree entirely thatanyone should be forewarned when they are required to register for anything, I think wea are all now are aware (hopefully) that our email addresses are constantly being harvested for commercial use.With the case of Max blog, his newsletter has<br /> actually been useful, his plugins also excellent.<br /> I also agree that we really should support these developers more, I will certsinly be using paypal more in future.<br /> good luck all. :) </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/175208#post-756467 Sun, 11 May 2008 23:18:41 +0000 jonimueller 756467@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>The only problem I have with that tactic, and probably the OP will agree, is that you aren't warned about that ahead of time. If there's something prominent on the plugin developer's web site about it and I click through anyway, then I'm aware. </p> <p>I understand completely how hard plugin developers work. I'm a WordPress plugin junkie myself. And I've always considered them the unsung heroes of WP. But I believe in truth in advertising. Perhaps if more people were like me and hit the plugin developers' paypal links or amazon wish list links more often, they wouldn't need to resort to these tactics. :-) </p>
