Plugin should not create new pages on activation
-
Upon activation, this plugin creates two new pages automatically, and then places a shortcode on each one. This is very bad form and you should dtop doing it.
Pages should only ever be created with the user’s consent. Creating new pages like that can have all sorts of unintended consequences.
I know you think this makes things more convenient for users. But it doesn’t. Eevery user knows how to put a shortcode where they want it.
Leaving it up to the user also avoids many problems. In my case, for example, your plugin used a page template that made your plugin look terrible. When I deleted that page and moved the shortcode to a different page, it was so much better.
So your attempt at convenience made things much worse than they should have been, and actually created more work, not less!
