Hey! Wow! Thanks for all of the responses! Very cool how this works!
Jan Dembowski & corvusmile…
I really don’t understand why people ask questions here & give bad rating here… Can’t they see the support forum?
Apparently you did not read my review. I did write to the support forum: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/dont-understand-why-i-have-to-enter-attributes-twice?replies=1. That was after reviewing the author’s instructions many times and spending several hours trying to get the plugin to work in a way that seemed helpful.
In my question on the forum I was very happy to pay for an upgrade if that’s what it took to get the issue resolved, but, indeed, the question has still not been responded to…after 7 months. It’s not like there are a million support threads to resolve…I found mine on the first page. And if there is another support forum that is referenced anywhere in the plugin notes, I’m sure I asked the same question there as well.
To be frank, I think, surely they are not any kinds of developers.
You’re right, I am not any “kinds” of developer. If I was a developer, I’d write my own code. Originally, I was a user trying to find out how the plugin works. Then I became a user telling others about my experience.
There is a real undercurrent of people who seem to think that they can somehow coerce an author by giving a 1 star review.
Are there really people out there that think that? How sad.
I absolutely was not trying to get the developer to respond. I seriously was trying to help anyone else who was thinking about using the plugin. Since my support question was not answered, I had no other information than to believe that that’s how the plugin worked, so, 1 star. If that’s the way it works, it’s no good to me, I’ll tell others so that they don’t waste their time.
Funny though, by getting all of these responses from my 1 star review and not to my support thread, maybe you really can only get responses by posting a 1 star review, though of course, they have not been helpful to answer my question.
And Steve Truman:
You know if you where to ask nicely I’d tell you how to do it – even on the Free lite version
I did ask nicely: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/dont-understand-why-i-have-to-enter-attributes-twice?replies=1. Well, I thought it was nicely. :-\ Was I really rude? I suppose I could have sugar coated it a little more. But I had spent a lot of time at that point trying to get it to work and I couldn’t find a way to do it.
Had my support question been answered, I never would have given 1 star because maybe I would have understood how to make the plugin work. It looked to me like a pretty cool plugin…as I said in my original support forum post.
but as you have given us a one star rating I won’t
Really? What a great way to solve a problem. I’m sure it is just a reflection of your entire life and I am sad for you.
Out of 17 reviews, 7 give 1 star. 40%. Am I really so out of line? And why, out of the 6 other 1 star reviews, am I the only one that you responded to? Weird. If it were me, I would rather respond to the people that said it broke their site as it’s probably just a conflict with another plugin and just answer my original question about how to make it work.
Best of luck.
