[Plugin: MailPress] Desaster with this Plugin (7 posts)

    I have now tested the plugin for two weeks. This is my experience:

    - In general the idea of the plugin is very good
    - I used a lot of time to edit the templates to my need (to long)
    - I used a lot of time to edit the templates for user managing their account (confusing)
    - The structure to administer the plugin is not clear and confusing
    - The controls give you not really a control over the functions of the plugin (on/off?) or plugins. Where can I stop batch-processing?
    - The batch system sends out daily news twice, you have no control
    - Users experience, that they could not use the link to manage the settings. If it works, some get a message "user not found" or "user already processed". If I look into the admin->userlist, the user is still there and I had to delete it manually.
    - Users experience, that they could not use the link to delete the subscription. Same way.
    - There is no really control between HTML/Text - Mails
    - There is no way to manage Text-Only - Emails or choice for the user
    - I had to install and reinstall all plugins multiple times to make them running
    - There is no control/view (log) about what users do and the occurring errors
    - There is no control which settings are kept in the option-table and which not after deinstallation
    - I have asked some questions in the support google-groups-board and did never got an answer

    In general, I think, this plugin should not be used by a normal user of wordpress. There are to many errors or misleading controls to only confuse the user. Only users with a deep understanding of wordpress and mysql can use this version.

    Yeah, I tried it also.
    Couldn't manage to make it work properly.
    I'm gonna have to try something else.

    Ciao
