    Great plugin, has enough features and options with their free plan. BUT. BIG BUT.

    Sadly this plugin forces their advertisement onto your pages at the bottom right corner. “Generated by Feedzy”. Be aware because they do not mention this anywhere.

    Will not be using this plugin because of the force advertisements. Seems shady.

    I can NOT confirm or verify this, but I am running feedzy for a short time only. Have not seen any unexpected output so far.

    Can you prove your claim? If this really happens, it would be not acceptable – although a simple “generated by” is not really an “ad”.

    Other than that, I can only say that installing and using feedzy was very smooth, it seems to be a good plugin.

    It is a forced ad when it follows you as you scroll the page even if the widget is applied to only a small and specific area of the page.

    I have since uninstalled the plugin, but I am not the only one that experienced this. Look at some other reviews.

    Hi @pacted!

    We apologize for the frustration this change, which was introduced in the latest versions of the plugin, must have caused you. We do understand that this is not a popular decision, but we analyzed the product sustainability and growth and in order to further support the innovation and development we appeal to our users to further support our work by either recommending our product if they like it or financially via paying for the PRO version where it’s possible to remove the copyright. Moreover, please consider that Feedzy is a customers funded project and without Premium product sales we can’t provide any updates whatsoever to the free product.

    With that in mind, we have decided that you’ll either have to get the premium version to get the functionality to remove the copyright or accept that some features would be missing. Alternatively, you’re free to continue to use previous versions of the plugin for as long as you want.

    If you think that Feedzy does not provide enough value to use it, I do understand and with the support of those that will do, we hope to increase the value over time thru new features to make it worth it for you too.

    Have a great day ahead!
