Great plugin

bdebever

Does what’s supposed to – good job!

works well

motonori

Works better than other similar plugins with my configuration.
But I’d like to approve after user’s profile (names, etc.) have been set.

It does what it promises, but there’s a lot to improve

XXVII

The plugin works as it promises, but it needs a lot of improvements and some options/functionalities to be a really good plugin (just check the threads in the support forum).

Now it’s not flexible enough to adapt to various use cases without changing some things via functions.php or, WORSE, changing the code of the plugin itself because it doesn’t provide the essential filters/hooks/actions.

The author doesn’t seem to have the time or will to improve the plugin, which is a shame as it provides a much needed functionality to WordPress and WooCommerce.
