### 󠀁[No Longer Supported, Don’t Waste Your Time](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-longer-supported-dont-waste-your-time/)󠁿

Tried plugin for a few days, contacted support with a few questions and they replied
that the plugin is no longer supported. In other words, don’t waste you time with
this plugin. Plugin Authors should remove their plugins when they no longer support
them, this would save other peoples precious time.

### 󠀁[Garbage plugin with a shady developer](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/garbage-plugin-with-a-shady-developer/)󠁿

This plugin is buggy as heck. Worse yet if you give your information to placester
you will get spammed to death. No joke, I get several calls a month and multiple
emails per day from them and the people they sold my information to trying to sell
me real estate products. Im not even a real estate agent, I just make websites and
I’ve tried to opt out of their spam with no luck. My piece of advice: Stay away 
from Placester at all costs.

### 󠀁[Plainly not a free one – and it will stalk you](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plainly-not-a-free-one-and-it-will-stalk-you/)󠁿

Get the theme for free, in order to use it you have to provide your email and phone
number. They deal with your personal information. Unsecure! It is some sort of a“
free” trial for two weeks or so. Then they want your credit card for 45 USD a month.
Avoid at all costs!!! Then, when you want to get rid of it, they install 1001 other
stuff all around the backoffice. It takes too much work to remove one “free” theme.
I do not recommend.

### 󠀁[Better than iHomeFinder](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/better-than-ihomefinder/)󠁿

 [mdriess](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mdriess/) September 3, 2016

== UPDATE == This plugin has a ton of problems and support is not quick at all to
address. They have moved on to promoting and working on their self-hosted and have
dumped this. Interesting too… w3 total cache was abandoned and then the creator 
of that got into this plugin and now it is dead as well. == /UPDATE == I use this
and iHomeFinder support is faster, friendlier, and more efficient with this plugin.
Feature wise they have some different advantages over each other. iHomeFinder seems
to be more resource intensive. Support: Placester wins solidly Features: iHomeFinder
wins marginally Resources: Placester wins

### 󠀁[Unable to use it, cannot even click CONFIRM EMAIL button](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-use-it-cannot-even-click-confirm-email-button/)󠁿

 [SanS](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sandeepsudheer/) February 7, 2017

After I installed Plugin and when I click on Placester tab a popup appears asking
to CONFIRM EMAIL. But that popup or any area around it cannot be clicked and is 
inactive. So I cannot use it. Even after reporting to them, no corrections and they
say the programmers are working on it but they have no idea when it will be fixed!!
🙁 🙁
